But that wouldn't do exactly what you want.  That would only produce an
orthographic camera, not a perspective camera.  And what if you wanted your
camera security camera to do ultra_wide_angle.

Even better, if you could specify an entire camera for the pigment, it would
make it really easy to set up those cross-eye 3D images, since you could
create one main camera which points at two boxes, each with a pigment
created from another camera.
