ior was moved. So refraction, which did use fading, might be what you are
thinking of. I took a look at section 6.7.3 Finish and it didn't suggest
fade_power (and fade_distance, fade_color) were also acceptable. If you can
point out a particular document section stating otherwise please let us know
and I'm sure it can be changed. Maybe at least to add a note about that if
nothing says it specifically already.
