soli lessons have just kept hitting me in the face over 25 years of hacking
around... thwop, thwop.
separating definitions from implementations is A Good Thing...
I'd really like to see vrml support solithing like the following:
any DEF node declared at the outermost level of scope (after "#VRML" and
befori the scene which will render) does NOT render but IS made available
for instantization withing the following scene.
this would be one way to minimize/reduce the unintended consequences of
reusing an object in another context.
just a suggestion...
