You're right - it can be done by projected_through but it requires further
operations:
- you have to put second light in the scene - less powerfull one
- declare the whole scene as the object to projected_through statement
- remember to make the second light shadowless
And raytracing time will probably increase, because you have two lights
instead of one so each test for lighting will be done twice.
I think the "shadow_darkness" keyword would be more comfortable and obvious
for users.
