'solid' is also used for crackle solid so this might lead to confusion.

Having not been around while those features were added i don't know about
the details.
  
Concerning the displace warp - i was planning to add a new function warp
(as well as warp functions, i think those things have been discussed
somewhere previously) and therefore voted for not including the displace
warp but the others thought it would be good to add it for convenience.  

Concerning glows: warps and transformations are supported.  A new glow
patch - sounds good, give it a few days rest but i am pretty sure we can
arrange something.  It should be obvious that none of the MegaPOV features
will stay as it is forever and features can also vanish again when there
is a new better solution. So don't worry too much about possibly outdated
functions.
