Doesn't the usual concept of a 'sky_sphere' make it a background
pigment? Same as 'background' yet capable of color_map inclusion? So,
if you can figure background out you will have your answer perhaps 8-0
that all points not occupied by a object, and behind every object,
there is the sky sphere. Not a entity per se, moreso a environment.
