It's now 6:24 here, and I'm in the exact same situation.  :D

It's another installment in the long-running desire to have native stl support
for POV-Ray.  There was some insistence that .stl is a binary-only format, or
that it would be difficult to adapt our mesh {} code to handle stl.

So the point is that if the SDL and stl are virtually identical, then it ought
to be fairly simple to add the ability _in source_ to #include "MyModel.stl"
