Not if used in difference. Or do I get something wrong?

To be more precise:

difference {
  box {<-1,-1,0> <1,1,1}
  box {0 0 no_image no_reflection no_shadow}
}

I did not try this, but if the stray ray actually hits the 0-box, I think it
would decide not to have hit the surface of the defference yet. Hence
it would continue INSIDE the object.
