I tried to use POV-ray to make a scene for an optics exam question, and
noticed the same thing: shadows are not influenced by the index of
refraction. I understand your explanation why this would be very difficult
to program, but it would be nice to include a remark on this in the
documentation.

You mean like the documentation in the "faked caustics" section of the
manual?

Those who care about real caustics should check out my recent post in
povray.binaries.images. The images there were made with a (very pre-alpha)
unofficial version of POV-Ray. By the end of this spring semester I should
have a good solid version available (probably beta versions before that). I'm
doing this as a directed study for my undergraduate degree in CS.
