Difficult, definetly. But as for parsing the whole file I don't think I
would have to All I would need to do is parse the file for the specific
features I impliment. No need to parse for julia fractals if I have no
support for them.

The problem I see with it is that a lot, if not most, people make use of the
great flexibility of the Pov-Ray scripting language, so instead of finding a
simple floating point number for any given feature I'm just as likely to
find a variable name or a complex function.
