I guess that means the light's look_like object is not included in the blurring
:-(  The effect I'm thinking of would necessarily need to include that. Oh well,
it was an interesting idea anyway.

As an alternative, I've been thinking about several different ways of
accomplishing the same thing-- all of which are basically 'cheats.' (The easiest
one involves simply post-processing the render in Photoshop or the like.) One
other wild idea would be for POV-ray to be re-written(!) so that its camera
focal_blur could be applied only to individual OBJECTS. But that's not the way
focal_blur works, of course... :-(
