Now THAT is weird.

I "commented one out" using

#if (0)
 #declare M_Granite =
 texture {
   //interior {ior 1.6}
   #if (Pol) //polished
     #if (Type=off)
       T1_GranitePol
     #else
       T1_GranitePol
       T2_GranitePol
     #end  //Type
   #else //frosted
     #if (Type=off)
       T1_GraniteFro
       //Crand(0.25)
       //Tcrand
     #else
       T1_GraniteFro
       T2_GraniteFro
       //Crand(0.25)
       //Tcrand
     #end  //Type
   #end  //Pol
   scale M_scale
   rotate M_rotat
   translate M_trans
 } //material
#end

And that worked just fine.

But when I highlighted all of that and deleted it, then I got the same weird
error.

If I use /* */ to comment it out, I get the error also.

Makes NO sense, and it's deeply concerning, because how is anyone supposed to
code anything if fundamental #declare statements simply don't work?
