: Why is this?

  I don't know the reason, but I can imagine a couple of them:

  - Security.
  - The type of rendering (size, antialiasing, etc) should specified outside
the scene, not inside.
  Just imagine the annoyance of a scene with "-w1280 -h1024 +a0.0 +qr" when
you just want to render a quick preview of it. You would have to edit the
scene by hand before being able to do it. It would also make trouble to a
possible software which automatically renders a set of scenes with certain
settings (for thumbnails, for example).

):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/
