The point is that that is a documented limit of the official version, but
it's been relaxed in Nathan's version.

  AFAIK the limit of 2 recursion levels is set in the documentation but not
in povray. I think that you can specify values higher than 2 (and they will
affect the scene).
  I haven't tried it, though.

main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

You can set them higher but it has not affect on the scene.
