Amazing. I remember this image. If I'm not mistaken, POVray 1.0 still used scene
syntax similar to this? And became the first incarnation of the current SDL with
v2.0 if I remember correctly...? I think the directives for looping,
conditionals and macros came in with v3.1...

Thanks for bringing back some memories (as well as providing them in the first
place)  :D
