Pov-Ray became the Emacs of renderers a long, long time ago. :-)

God knows that I am not a fan of syntactic sugar, but what Warp is
suggesting is not syntactic sugar. He is suggesting making it *possible*
to do things in Pov that currently have to be done in an ad-hoc way
outside of Pov before/after a render. Unless you run an operating system
Designed The Way Operating Systems Should Be Designed (Unix or Linux),
automating this stuff is a royal pain.

Honestly, that's how I see Pov: an environment for automating and
scripting graphics creation. Take that away, and it's just one of the
many, many raytracing packages out there.

...On the other hand, I will lart anyone who suggests adding a mail
reader to Pov. :-P

You know you've been raytracing too long when you find yourself having a
Web surfing cycle of two months: http://www.irtc.org/ is what caused that.
