The old caustics are still there and fully useable. The problem, is that 
those are distance independent. So, you take a refractive sphere, shine 
light thrue it, and the bright spot stay the same size 1 unit away and 
1000 units away. It's OK for a water surface casting caustics under it, 
but that's all.
