I sincerely applaud the POV Team for making a more difficult, real-life
phenomena ray tracer.

No! If I wanted to lose that much respect for myself, I would spend my next
bonus on 3DS and just push buttons to render great art. I'd rather that half of
the amount of effort that Gilles just suggested be put into a comprehensive
tutorial on media. I like to figure out hard things, especially related to my
engineering background.   I also like to know what I can expect to be able to
do.

What is media? The POV 3.1 documentation took a huge step backwards compared to
3.02.
