You can effect something similar through the use of arrays, file io and
includes. And using a pre animation ini/pov script to pre-compute your
frames (with display/output turned off):

	display=0
	Output_to_File=0

It of course would be nice to be able to save state of all objects with
one command, but with a little work you can create a newtonian based
physics script complete with collision, etc detection. I had did
something primative along those lines for a space battle with klingon
warships. 

Personally I think a render statement would make frame-based rendering a
little too complex. At least for animations involving many objects.
