I see... and I would like to assure you that I... err, share your desire for
poerful features. The *only* question is -- how is that power unleashed?
I, for one, cannot be convinced not to use forward goto's in C at all --
there is simply no other efficient way to escape deeply nested loop. In
Java, one can demand that there must be no goto's at all -- since there are
labeled loops AND you can always 'break' the loop you want (by its label).
In C, you sometimes have no alternative, especially in a time-critical
code...
So, as to POV-Ray, the challenge is just provide powerful AND
well-structured featureas which will render puwerful BUT unreliable features
obsolete.

Well, You can look at povray.general, povray.text.scene-files and
povray.binaries.scene-files into splitted thread about IsoCSG include file. It
started yesterday and I have posted at least 4 extensions into that (including
whole rebuild with different parameters handling) and discuted it even more.
But IIRC there wasn't such splitted syntax. But I always look into sigs of
POV-ers. They _always_ use confusable (is there such word?) syntax. Usually it
takes me some short time to understand - but those sigs were written to
confuse so nothing strange. Anyway if there (in sigs) is something to improve
in confusing or length I usually send it. It's known fact, you can dig on
news.

I haven't used php recently so I can't answer. I'm also not even half
experienced in php as in pov (supposing I have some experience in POV) so I'm
probably not a good target for this question. But I use other server-side
language (WebSpeed platform) and work in team with success. We builded and
maintain broker service with it. It use html splitting as in posted example.

Allocating memory for additional objects, floats, strings, transformations
isn't better in this case imo.
