Hmm.  How would a difference operation be useful for a spiral staircase?

Each riser is a circular segment--the difference of a donut (difference of two
cylinders) and a couple rectangles oriented to result in a pie segment.

Duh.  Of course.  Doesn't POV-Ray have some kind of sweep/turn function, so
you could take a rectangle (one side of pie slice) and turn it through a
specified angle to generate the riser?
