  Q on working with height_field's

I'm wondering if it is possible to access any of the elevation data that
pov-ray creates when parsing a height_field. When I say elevation data I
simply mean all the y components of the triangles that pov-ray produces from
a heightfield. This would be useful for placing objects on heightfiels, for
example a grass macro that placed a blade of grass at the same height as the
triangles on a heightfield.
