Similar to how Le Forgeron states in his sig:
"Just because nobody complains does not mean all parachutes are perfect."

I would follow that up with a similar:
"Just because no one got back to you, doesn't mean no one wants the feature."

There are, as I understand things, many people who download and use POV-Ray
academically and professionally, yet we never see them here on the forums.
People hang out in weird places on the internet, or just have no interest in
participating in the forums.
Over the years, I have tried to scour the internet and post links to instances
where people have, or are currently using POV-Ray - with links to articles,
websites, and sometimes name + academic position.
There is also the phenomenon that this forum will be radio silent for 2 weeks or
more, and then a sudden flurry of activity will occur all at once.

So asking here is not the best way to receive a meaningful answer.

I was just suggesting it.
I know you have a lot of other activities that take up your time and attention.
