This image would be create by i.e.

global_Settings {
  output_info "R,G,B,user1,flags"
}
background { rgb z info{user1{0} flags{backgr}}  }
sphere { 0 1 scale 1+x pigment { bozo info{user1{1} flags{skin}} } } 
sphere { 0 1 scale 1+y pigment { bozo info{user1{1} flags{skin}} } } 
sphere { 0 1 scale  .7 pigment { bozo info{user1{2} flags{skin eye}} } } 


Another important usage - user1 etc would be perfect for SpecFlare - then 
can pass to it informations i.e. is this point a lightsource (add flare) or 
is it only white material.
