  I still disagree with you.
  No-one will get any trouble because of the extra features. However those
who know how to use those features can improve their code a lot. So your
statement doesn't make sense.

  You say "exclude" as if adding those features to povray would stop people
from using it. That's not true, of course.
  And I'd say that more than 0.1% of povray users know the basics of
OO-programming, and that should be enough. And besides, it's not that hard
to learn (but easy to misuse, though).
