Now that's an idea I like! I too have always been most enthused by the idea of
'pure' code generating a beautiful image, and I often design scenes with this
philosophy. (I wonder, could my meshrelief macros be used to generate .inc
files for this scenario? It is a multi-parse, if not a multi-pass render...)

I don't necessarily think this idea should be implemented, but I like it ;-)
