  I chose keywords primarily because they are existing ones (and thus
wouldn't require adding new keywords to the parser) and because they were
the first ones which came to mind. I don't have any objection in something
even clearer being used. My point was, however, the idea of making the
radiosity settings be in its own block, similar to how photon, pigment,
finish and normal settings are. This makes it more flexible and expandable
in the future.
