I came across this site a long time ago.  I hope that it makes it into POV-Ray 3.5,  It would be really a great addition,  or at least I think it would.  I don't know enough about it to really judge, but it looks like it could cut down on memory usage.  I talked with someone there and they said they are working on a patch or getting it into POV-Ray officially.  Anyone have any more information?  I would love to know.  Check out the site.
