Hi Bill Hedge, you recently wrote in moray.win:

When POV-Ray sees the looks_like keyword it creates a union of the
object and the light and sets the no_shadow flag of the object. Since
this is trivial to do in Moray, there is no need to directly support
the looks_like keyword. Simply create a Group object, add the object
and the light and check the no_shadow checkbox of the object (not of
the group).
