Seems pretty natural.  Can't really be faked with a normal either.  This method
for path tracing is simple, but it seems perhaps too invasive to properly
integrate it.  Now what POV-Ray could really use is email support.  Just
remember Zawinski's Law of Software Envelopment:

Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which
cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.

Therefore I propose we add an email tab to the GUI versions of POV-Ray.
