Are you suggesting that instead of:
 no_image
 no_reflection
 no_shadow

Pov would need something like:
 no_image
 no_reflection
 no_real_shadow
 no_reflected_shadow

?

Would there be any interest for such things ?

What about also then about highlight effect ?
Shouldn't then Pov need something like:
 no_image
 no_reflection
 no_real_highlight
 no_real_shadow
 no_reflected_highlight
 no_reflected_shadow

Moreover, what about refracted rays :
 no_refraction
 no_refracted_highlight
 no_refracted_shadow 

And lastly, what about transmited rays:
 no_transmition
 no_transmited_highlight
 no_transmited_shadow

Wouldn't then using a paint program instead of a raytracer be simpler ?
Or does someone really see a utility for that level of detail ?
