I see.   Thanks for the tip :)

Although it's not explicitly stated in your post that I linked, I'm assuming I
can't mix strings and floats and array elements in a single "tuple-style"
declare.

e.g. #declare (a, filename, MyArray[3]) = (4.2, "TestFile", <1, 2, 3>)

or a mix of scalar and vector quantities

#declare (g, h, i) =  (1, <3, 4, 5>, 567.89)

IIRC, someone came up with a way to "trick" POV-Ray to "mix" element types using
arrays of arrays....
