  I don't remember anyone doing that before.
  It shouldn't be too difficult to make those macros. As POV-Ray supports
5-dimensional vectors, you can use the four first items of such vector
for the quaternion.

#macro N(D)#if(D>99)cylinder{M()#local D=div(D,104);M().5,2pigment{rgb M()}}
N(D)#end#end#macro M()<mod(D,13)-6mod(div(D,13)8)-3,10>#end blob{
