Hum - that's a good question I've never thought about. But by extension
of what I said, if you model a single non-point light source as an array
of smaller light sources, then those smaller light sources'
fade_distance should be set equal to their radius, so for a highly
subdivided area_illumination light source the fade_distance should
indeed probably be close to zero.
