True. But it would be possible. POV-Ray SDL is just a simple scripting
language provided for convenience; if you really need the speed that bit
operations can give you, then you're *probably* using the wrong language for
the job. You should consider writing a program in a different language which
outputs a POV-Ray SDL file which can be #included from your main one, to
provide the necessary data or objects.
