One cannot override a .ini or command line Declare statement.

   translate z
   pigment { rgb 1 }
   finish { ambient 1 }

povray override                     1             1
povray override[Test2]              1             2
povray override Declare=Test=3      1             3
povray Declare=Test=4 override      4             1

I've tried other permutations, such as multiple Declares in the .ini file and
multiple Declares on the command line, and it always uses the first declaration
it finds.  This is inconsistent with the behavior of the other options.

Thank you.
