Couldn't it be done as an extension of the light_groups philosophy? E.g. if the
the camera ray hits an object that is not in the camera's "world group" the
intersection is discarded; a portal would (among other things) redefine the
camera's group id, so further testing along this ray is done for a different
"world group".
