I remember reading (in one of the newsgroup posts) about an issue/bug regarding
the '#default {}' directive, which also works without the '#'.  fwiw:

#version 3.7;
#global_settings{ assumed_gamma 1.0 }
#background{ color srgb 1 }
#camera{
    location < 1, 1, -2 >
    look_at <0, 0.5, 0>
}
#light_source{ < 1, 2, -3 > * 1000000 color srgb 1 }
#box{< 0, 0, 0>, < 1, 7/47, 1 > pigment{ color srgb < 1, 1, 0> } }

too renders the image (3.8.0-alpha.10064268.unofficial).
