In POV-Ray v1.0 and v2.2 all triangle based objects where contained in a union.
Meshes didn't appear until POV-Ray v3.0 and the restrictions that came with them.
The real beauty of meshes are the reduced memory requirements when copies of
declared mesh objects are used. There is no real difference otherwise.
