I don't use them either, except for animations, and only then because - that's
the way it works.

I would much rather have a way to have everything contained in one scene file
rather than in multiple files.  A temporary working ini file could be
constructed to run the animation and store whatever persistent stuff is needed
across all frames.

I'm also a fan of multiple ways of performing the same task.
So, leaving .ini alone, I'd say the same functionality should be available from
within the .pov file.
But I mean, that's my personal preference, and things that I expect to see in
commercial software.  And something that MS messes up on a regular basis.

I'd like to see the "command line options" capable of being invoked from within
the .pov file as well.

And, it's tough, with the way that POV-Ray is, and the way the files and
primitives are structured, and the way a scene has to be parsed and then
rendered - it limits what is possible and what is practical.
