Photon interaction with objects is a bit more complicated than shadow-ray
interaction.  However, it's not to difficutl to make no_shadow work like
pass_through.  This will decrease the amount of control you have over your
objects (currently, you can have an object that uses no_shadow but not
pass_through, but if I make this change then you will not be able to use the
no_shadow feature without the pass_through feature).  Comments?
