Well, that explains your quite strange answer to my question.

I doubt there is much to conclude from this test. First what it is about
is a part of POV-Ray not of much interest for someone starting to deal
with the POV-Ray source code. The first time i stumbled across POVMS was
when i added some new element to the statistics and even that did not go
into depth. And second you did not really start a discussion about
anything important. As it seems you just described a few details about
something that already exists in POV-Ray. Why should anyone have concerns
about that? ;-)
If you really want to find out whether public discussion of things could
be useful for 4.0 development there is no other way but to try it.
