  I can agree that they are not like the real thing, but I can't agree 
about the documentation. What the documentation states is what POV-Ray 
does. Exactly. And you know it, isn't? Why you stopped quoting section 
6.5.7.5 when it comes to explain just these things you claim it does not 
explain?

  As others pointed, we all have tried this sooner or later.. and sonner or 
later we all realized it is too slow.
