My reasoning was that identifiers are only added to the with #declare, 
#local, #macro...and that there wasn't a good reason to change that. 
Also, the "keyword {IDENTIFIER" syntax is used in POV already, for 
creating a copy of something already defined, and this would cause 
needless confusion. "world {RedWorld" looks like it is creating a copy 
of RedWorld.

Maybe each world would be limited to a separate file, and imported like 
this:
#world WorldIdentifier "worldFile.pov"
But I would prefer the syntax that treats each world more like an object.

PS: "world" or "universe"? The latter seems more specific, but the first 
is shorter...
