What if I don't want to add one pixel to the width and height of the image?
For example, one of my POV-Ray projects is creating a set of tiles for a 2D
game. There are hundreds of tiles, and they are rendered by a single file as
an animation. I don't want to have to go in manually with an image editor to
remove one row and column from every single image. Moving the camera works,
but then I need to change the amount I move it by every time I change the
size of the images, and I'm making two sizes of tiles (32x32 and 48x48).

That doesn't change the fact that the current behavior is simply incorrect,
and it is very easy to fix. I know you're probably worried about backwards
compatibility, but as you pointed out, it only makes a big difference on a
few scenes, and even on those scenes it would be much better to have the
camera in the right place anyway.
