I don't know how that would even be implemented. Shadows aren't physical
objects; they're the absense of light. By specifying "no_shadow", you're
saying that you want light to behave unrealistically. But then when you give
an object photons, you're saying that you want light to behave *extra*
realistically with that object. There really isn't a good way to implement
this.
