  Well, there is another difference.
  This:

light_source
{ <1,1,0>, 1
  looks_like { sphere { 0, .1 pigment { rgb 1 } finish { ambient 1 } } }
}

produces a different result than this:

union
{ light_source { <1,1,0>, 1 }
  sphere { 0, .1 no_shadow pigment { rgb 1 } finish { ambient 1 } }
}

  The difference is left as an excercise.
