Yes,
Along those lines, I was also trying to look at the similarities of all of the
povObjects to see if we could have some more commonality under-the-hood.  It's
something clipka mentioned.  I have way too many spreadsheets and little pieces
of paper with scribbles . . .

It would also be great if as many things as possible had some sort of default
attached to it, so I could just invoke a sphere, and maybe it just had a
POV-Unit diameter and default texture.
