  You know, "requires a C++ compiler" and "is C++" (and not C) are two
different things. ;)

  Those gigantic switch-case blocks are the most typical C-style code
in POV-Ray. (Sure, technically speaking switch-cases are C++ too, but
in this case those gigantic switch-cases are actually C code emulating
dynamic binding, something which could be done more directly and much
more easily using C++-specific code.)
