Can someone remind me how to multiply the densities of media?  The POV
3.1a documentation is far from complete.

Preferrably, I'd like a specific example.  What I'd like to do is have
something "flaming" AND decreasing as one leaves a center point.  I'm
thinking that I could multiply a bozo and a spherical pattern.

Would I do:

Sphere{
        texture {blahblah}
        interior{
            media{
                density{}
                    }
            media{
                density{}
                    }
    etc.

OR


Sphere{
        texture {blahblah}
        interior{
            media{
                density{}
                density{}
                    }
    etc.

OR something else?

  Also see my posted example in povray.text.scene-files for a multiple
density flame example.

Multiple densities in a media statement are multiplied together
(logical AND). Multiple media in an interior statement are added
together (logical OR).

I wish there was a way to make a logical XOR (yeah, you can model it
with ANDs and ORs and inverses pretty fine, but that's slow)
