  As I have always said, "one of the strongest features of POV-Ray is also
one of its weakest features", referring to its SDL.

  The idea of a more powerful SDL (both in expressive power and raw speed)
has been one of the motivations for POV-Ray 4, but that will probably happen
only in the distant future.
  Of course some people will be strongly against a new (albeit similar)
language, but that's only to be expected (some people think that "includes
OO features" means the same thing as "you must learn OOP in order to use
the program").

  And no, please don't start posting suggestions for pov4. They are
completely irrelevant at this point and the team already has their
hands full of work with 3.7. It's just an idea.
