You can stay as is with your iso_csg.inc include file and not change anything
in your set of macros neither documentation. In fact I did everything for you.
Take a look what was changed (after moment in povray.binaries.scene-files - be
carefull - not tested). If user want simple version then he use your script as
"iso_csg.inc" if he want automatic container then he add b in letter of
include file, macro names, and addional IC_Extents call. I think it is simple
enough.

Not, you still can use any other function, just add additional parametr as
container of this function.

Sure, but author can aware about it in documentation ... ;-)
