Well, one problem I've had so far trying to work out a macro is that
POV-Ray contains no function for finding string length (somebody explain
*that*), meaning that it's going to be necessary to include a separate
array just for string lengths.
Also are some small issues like the fact that it's necessary to define
all of the text objects before placing them, because their width needs
to be a known quantity. Having done almost nothing with macros before,
this area is a little new to me. However, I'm working on that aspect of
it in the hopes that something will work.
