Most of the functions handwritten in my helper package. Searching in strings,
filtering, sorting arrays, etc.
PHP has dozens of functions for this. I wrote most of the ones I needed, but it
was a hell of work. And I'm still amazed that Povray interprets them so quickly,
thought that would slow everything down.

What annoyed me a lot:
You have no chance of figuring out what type a variable is. You have to know
what it is and cant convert them automatically.

On the other hand, povray is not a real programming language but focuses on the
render output.
I am happy about what it can do and that I was able to extend it for myself.
So I don't want to complain.

I have a wish list, but I don't expect anyone to implement it in their free
time. And my programming skills do not allow me to get involved in the project
at the moment. So I have to live with what I have, and that's a lot of fun.
