that's quite elegant, to extract from a file format, what POV-Ray understands
based on mesh2.

I'd separate extracting array into something like:

mesh2array(mySTLObject, verticesname, normalsname, facesname, uvname,
vertexcoulours etc..)

could result in a bunch of arrays declared with the given names. It should take
mesh & mesh2.

and/or

mesharrays{obj "MyObjObject.obj"} and extract everything the file supports into
arrays, even what's not understood by mesh2, like boning, face normals or non
triangle faces.
