I somehow do not believe the original Cornell box was designed this way...

I just think you are taking the wrong approach to the problem with your
scene.  Instead of thinking for hours how POV-Ry could be changed, try to go
with what you have and you will get amazing results and maybe find a
creative way without someone else adding a feature to POV-Ray for you.

Somehow what you suggest is like suggesting to add drills to cars so you can
drill for oil when you run out of fuel.  Sure you could do it, but it might
not be the most practical solution :-)
