But it would be quite a high risk, to get a stack overflow ...

As I understood, functions are more deeper embedded in POVRay, than macros ...

so there probably would be a need for extra checkings, to make functions, not to block
the whole system ...

Imagine a function that looks up, because of a infinite-loop, that gets computet first
time at 50% of an Image ... (this image
rendered at 2pps) ...

how will you tell, that it's the function, dooing an infinite loop, and not "only the
image with a bit of
media/refraction/any-other-slow-feature" ?

I think it would be _very_ powerful, but it would lead to even more headaches than we
have already ...

I think you all know what I mean ... <looking into p.b-t> ....
