Look at it another way.

If there were a feature that made boxes look a *lot* better by
performing lighting calculations differently, would you advocate it?
Remember, because the lighting is different, it probably won't be
possible to mix boxes using the new method with other geometry; that is,
you'll have to use *only* boxes to get the result.

Would you advocate the addition of such a feature?
