Actually, I've improved the system.  Instead of doing intersections of
elements on both sides of the door, I do a single version, and a single
reversed version.  The one is no_image and with a reversed lighting system
with the project_through on the mirror plane (actually, on the mirror plane
without the cutout).  The other is no_reflection as before.  This simplifies
the code and speeds things up somewhat.
