  refracted/reflected light not attenuated

From the POV-Ray for Windows Help 6.5.7.9 Light Fading:
"You should note two important facts: First, for Fade_Distance larger than
one the light intensity at distances smaller than Fade_Distance actually
increases. This is necessary to get the light source color if the distance
traveled equals the Fade_Distance. Second, only light coming directly from
light sources is attenuated. Reflected or refracted light is not attenuated
by distance."

My question:
Is it possible to circumvent this and get reflected or refracted light
attenuated by distance?
