I did it for my deform patch
Everything what it need is to change parse_object_mod to return (OBJECT *)
and change Parse_*() functions.

when you tesselate object you do it probably to use it insted of original object
for user there could be no difference - only speed up

I know that some peoples don't like such word like "modeller" according to
POV-script
but in modellers there is taskbar with operations applied to object and
rotation, scale and other linear operations are neighbours for twisting,
bending, screwing and neighbours for smoothing by removing of vertex, incresing
amount of vertex and something.

I you have ready function Parse_Tesselation() I can try simple apply to my
modified source of deform patch to apply your syntax and my proposed syntax.

hmm, I don't think that I explained :-(
