Nice to see someone else who has realised the usefulness of OO scripting. As I said:
what I miss most when writing include files for POV-Ray, is the possibility to
access attributes of different objects like the camera, a lightsource or whatever.
What's more, I'd like to be able to access the current frame number, the initial
clock, the final clock etc - i.e, all the INI file settings. So I think a keyword
for the next version of POV would be 'accessible' as in 'all attributes are now
accessible'.
