Yes. You've discovered The Secret: despite the strong similarity to
MegaPOV-Ray, which already exists, POV-Ray 3.5 is - and I cannot express
this more emphatically - **COMPLETELY AND ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE**.
Coding it would violate not only laws of computer science, but in fact
laws of physics and even most of the Ten Commandments.
Here's a salt lick. You may need it about now...

I feel your pain. Everyday I check this newsgroup
and hope to see the grand announcement. Like

ps. A warm thank you to the POV team for making
the greatest free software in the history of computing!
