It's so simple, it can be done with a little patch if anyone wants to -
How about having a command for POV to print out the post-preprocessed file -
that is, the parsed file - so that if you have tons of macros and while's
and if's you can generate a parsed file with a single command and quickly
render an animation without re-parsing?
Or just saving time?
Or using the same file with minor changes?
Or making a POV X.X scene backwards compatible easily? (If it has functions
like trace())
Or just for fun?
this must be pretty easy to implement.

may your beard grow long and prosper,
Noam Lewis.
