Indeed, a ray tracer's idea of an "object" and a programmer's idea of an 
"object" are completely unrelated. Both can be highly variable, so they 
are given the generic name "object".


As an aside, if the SDL ever becomes object-oriented, the whole subject 
will become a whole lot more confusing. ;-)

(I think if that ever happened, we would need to sit down and have a 
careful think about terminology to try and keep people un-confused.)
