Well, all of the suggestions were with the idea that there would be a fog/haze
in between the fake-blur and the camera to help hide the kludge.

It also occurred to me that one might be able to make an object slightly ---
hairy - to soften the edges.  Maybe do _that_ with a transparent+ior or
transmissive texture and see how that goes.

For the oversized transmissive object, I was thinking that perhaps there's a way
to soften / completely fade out the edges.
Interestingly, while looking for hair macro, I looked over at Rune's website and
found his Pattern Control Trick - "Change the color_map of a pigment along a
pattern"  Perhaps this could be of some use in this instance.
