I'd like to add one to the list:

scale_map

If not used scale an object as normal, but if used eg.
 

box{
    <-1,-1,-1>,<1,1,1>
    pigment {Blue}
    scale_map {
               gradient y
               
               [0.0    1    ]
               [0.25   1    ]
               [0.26  0.75  ]
               [0.74  0.75  ]
               [1.0   1     ]
              }
    }

it'd pinch the object in at the center, all the way round,  being scale 1 at 
y*1 scale 0.75 from y*0.5 to y*-0.5, and would be back at one again from there
to y*-1.

It'd be really good if you could add more than one of these to an object, and 
hopefully be able to add them to CSG objects not only single primitives. 

I've thought about this many times, and hope it's a viable addition to the 
current features in POV/MegaPOV.
