Best use of it I've seen is to have one object in the foreground, and
another object in the mirror.  The two objects are actually placed in the
same place; one has it's bounding object in front of the camera (between
itself and the camera), and traces normally, the other has its bounding
object between the mirror and the camera (so when rays hit the mirror, the
object is traced).
