Lights would be good, for vehicles. Though it's also worth bearing in mind that
I want to use radiosity in animations, which I'm pretty sure doesn't get motion
blurred in megapov. TBH I'd always find a situation where I want to blend frames
myself unless pov could literally have multiple versions of the entire scene and
randomly jitter rays through time. Just doing a subset of features will never be
enough.

I guess what I'm saying is I don't think the official version of pov should have
a feature that's fussy about what other features it works with, it should be one
homogeneous whole. (Talking of which, can we get radiosity illuminating media?)
