have not the time to delve deeply, right now, just a couple of things (as you're
"new").

scene files ought to have a '#version' directive as (one of) their first lines.
re variable names, I too am all for lowercase but you will have to be very
careful, using capitalised or pre/post-fixed names is recommended and "safe".
use '#local' inside macros, rather than '#declare's.

re the recursive macro.  I'd be uncomfortable trying to create, um, a cone of
cones, inline, suggest a macro which expands to one cone, and call/place that
from within the loop  in 'frac()'.  hth.
