  It does. It's called 'select'. 'select' is not a workaround, it's a
conditional structure.

  In theory adding the support for recursive function calling should
be easy (AFAIK you could simply remove the existing check which stops
the parsing if recursion is detected). The problem is that there seems
to be cases where it doesn't work ok, and fixing it to work always may
need severe work. For simple recursive functions it should work ok (at
least according to prototype tests).
  (I don't know if it would be a good idea to enable recursion in a patched
version of povray because of the detected instability, but a personal
version would be interesting to try.)
