Well, if you don't understand the reasoning so far, try to see it this way:

A # declared variable is just like a macro without any parameters (it really
is, also the docs don't and won't explain it that way).  So whenever POV-Ray
finds the string matching the #declared variable it will just replace it
with whatever the value of the #declared variable.
