True, but the double_sidedness would be a fast trick.  Depth could be
simulated with nothing more that a varied illumination from the other side.
What I'm thinking of is like a leaf or a curtain.  If there was a way to
specify how much of the illuminated side of the surface shows through, things
like the viens in a leaf or the weave in cloth could be simulated.

Perhaps an opacity_map could be specified within double_sided {} :)
