There are the arrays, though...

Some notes:
- As per docs, you should use #declare var_pos... within the loop to
redefine the local variable.
- Even tough the docs don't properly cover what happens when you use #local
to redefine local variables within loop, it seems to work equivalently to
the above. Note though, that MegaPOV seems have trouble with #undef after
doing this. 3.1g works seems to treat #local for the purpose of redefining
local variables just as it does #declare. I suspect that it may result in
strangeness as well. ;)
