Since you seem to have put quite a lot of work into this i wonder why you
did not write any information about you and the reason of your interest in
POV.  A lot of the things you write indicate that you don't have much
practical experience with POV-Ray and you don't know much about the recent
feature discussion and development.  

Some points:

- there are features for using object geometry in patterns (object
pattern) and using patterns directly for objects (function image type and
isosurfaces)

- 'instancing' (clone/refer patch) have been discussed and planned before
but it isn't as simple as it might seem.

- your language change suggestions involve a lot of additional keywords
and much longer scene files which makes learning the language and writing
scenes not exactly easier.
