Greetings all.

I just stumbled upon some limitations in the POV language and thought
of a way they could be avoided. These limitations are:

-you can't pass a macro as a parameter of another macro
-POV can't evaluate an expression to a float when reading from a file

The solution I have in mind is a parse(string) function. It simply
inserts the string in the code at the time of parsing (as include
files and macros are treated). So you can to something like:

#macro lissagousFunction(a,b,c)
 ...
#end

#macro connectTheDots(func, foo1, foo2)
 ...
 thisAndThis = parse(func);
 ...
#end

connectTheDots ("lissagousFunction(3,0,1)", 5, 1)

Does it make sense?
