  I still think that (C's) floor() should be used instead of (C's) int()
for the POV-Ray int() function.
  Since you can represent 5000000000.25 with povray's identifier, I don't
see any reason why POV-Ray's int() should not return 5000000000.

  (Or better "x<0 ? -floor(-x) : floor(x)" to maintain the same behaviour.)
