  This should not happen implicitly.
  A subobject can perfectly have no normal specification (you don't want
any normal modifications for it) and you want it to stay that way in the
CSG as well, even though the overall texture for the CSG could have a
normal specification.
  If anything, this functionality should be behind a keyword or something.

  Perhaps something like:

union
{ object { whatever pigment { rgb 1 } normal { to_be_specified_later } }
  object { ... }
  ...
  normal { bumps 1 } // this applies to the first object
}

N(D)#end#end#macro M()<mod(D,13)-6mod(div(D,13)8)-3,10>#end blob{
