Uh, POV doesn't let you specify colors with splines. And you don't 
specify colors in the curves patch, it simply reuses the keywords as 
names for color channels.

Some of those would be pretty easy to do, but they would just be 
confusing...since you are not specifying a color. Would you like it 
better if it required the "type" keyword before the type?
And anyway, the syntax I use is better suited for expansion to other 
color spaces. I plan to allow other color spaces to be manipulated by 
adding a filter to convert to those spaces, but a future version of the 
curves patch may allow a shortcut for modifying those spaces. Your 
syntax will cause confusion("I can modify red and green at the same 
time, but not blue and saturation?").
