Er, I meant, that is currently implemented in POV-Ray. =)

The idea is that the flagged object wouldn't be drawn, it would only be
noticed, causing higher AA. Then you could manually surround tiny objects
with larger, flagged objects, to cause higher AA in the vicinity of the tiny
objects. (For instance, a thin cylinder rope could be surrounded by a thick
cylinder with the flag.)
