  I think that POV-Ray only removes user-defined bounding boxes when it
(thinks it) can make a better one itself. However, for planes it doesn't
create bounding boxes at all (because they are infinite) and thus should
not remove the user-defined one. I haven't tried it, though.

  Well, yes. That's what I meant (could have worded it better, though).
  A mesh by itself is not usable in CSG, but if you add inside_vector to
it, then it is.
