If we have blinn highlitgs, then I need to specify different interiors
for different faces ...

... but individual triangles ARE parts of one object and we don't have
variable ior in POV-Ray (and if we have, then it should be specified in
another way than different iors for all faces, because it is propetry of
interior of solid and not its surface), so its useless to specify
different interiors for different faces. In this case, ior for blinn
highlights should be a finish property instead of interior property.
