I don't have particular scenes in mind, but the need for it is just as real 
as a ned for an adjustable max_trace_level. If it was just a matter of 
avoiding infinite trace loops, a fixed max_trace_level of, say 255, with no 
option of setting it lower, would be fine. But it's not just about that, and 
this is no different if the ray goes straight through or bended.

I don't know. max_passthrough_level ?
