Version 0.1.1

[CARVALHO Luis Passos]

Maybe I'm just picky.

Yes, we can parse all supported objects. We support spheres, solid colors
and pigments.

So parse this scene:

#include "colors.inc"

sphere { <0,0,0>, 1 pigment { color Yellow } }

>From a user's perspective, this scene hasn't got one object that is not
supported. In fact, if you replace the incude with is's own code, it will
import the code perfectly. So why can't it be imported?

Some users understand that includes are not parsed. Other's don't. But even
those who understand that will like to know if it will be supported or not.

IMHO, it's not a matter of it being clear that we don't support it or not,
more if we will support it or not.

Regards,
Luis
