Although there is talk of revamping POV-Ray's SDL code in the future, such
changes to what might be called POV's 'basic syntax structure' would cause chaos
with everyone's older scenes. Not to mention the mental shift that we older
users ('older' as in having worked with the program for a long time) would have
to go through, dumping well-established syntax for new constructs. It would be
like learning a whole new language. ;-)  Of course, time marches onward...
