I was wondering if it would be possible to directly
output #debug-streams (or similiar) to the message
window of the GUI where applicable, instead of having to
wait for a "\n".
I've come to this several times during the programming
of includes. Some of them require lots of calculations, and
then even some do something in steps. Debugging a "."
for every step in order to see a change (or perhaps how
far it is already finished) would be a nice addition, though
reading something like
.
.
.
.
.
would be annoying.
Is there a reason why this isn't done? Perhaps because then
a POV-Ray with and without GUI wouldn't act the same (like:
when using \n, POV-Ray will write that line to disk or such)?
I'm curious.

Oh, and I hope this hasn't already been discussed many times
over. Don't want to start a new discussion if there have been
predecessors. Just asking. :-)
