Cool! So does that mean that if you have AA enabled, it will always send the
rays through the sample point of the image plane, but if you don't, it will
send the rays through a random point in the pixel on the image plane, as in
3.6? Or with AA disabled, will it now send the rays through the center of
the pixel?

It would be great if this were coupled with the ability to clip before
anti-aliasing, so that you could clip after focal blur but before AA,
creating well-anti-aliased bright blurs of light. =)
