True enough. But light_sources, like objects have a checkbox to cause
them to not export. The plug-in doesn't care. It still exports the
lens flare with all the corresponding necessary data, but the light
source doesn't go with it, so no effect on render time, and no need
to worry about making it a dim light soas not to mess up the lighting
effect.
