Maybe it would be a good idea to allow settings afair "shadow tollerancy" in global
settings?

Problem is with shadows, as mentioned often - small objects (about 0.01 units) causes
sometimes 
invalid shadows.

I have a scene where "typical" size is 1 unit, a small detais have 0.01 units and
less. Their are causing 
invalid shadows :(

btw. other "epsiolns" maybe also should be defined in global_settings, like depth
tollerancy in afair sphere 
sweep, or  0.001 texture offset for AFAIR checker
