As mentioned, "it needs to be seen whether this new behavior will be 
accepted by the users"...

Okay, first feedback sounds pretty much like it won't be ;-)

Back to the drawing board... suggestions on this whole smash, anyone?


One idea I had already pondered was to allow for "pass_through" to 
optionally be followed by "filter" to indicate that the object should 
still attenuate light passing through.

Note that currently non-pass_through objects block photons /entirely/ 
when encountered before the target, even if they have their pigment set 
to "rgbt 1".
