It's an alternative. But if you intend to use cutoff for artistic
effect, you'd probably need to set it on a per light_source basis.
And if it's only about speedup or artefact avoidance, adc_bailout
might suffice.

Also, the cutoff distance is logically related to light_source
fading parameters as it affects how the light intensity changes
with distance (even if its just dropping to zero at some point).
