Probably so - though it's not yet sure what syntax will be used for that 
functionality; it may actually end up as an extension to the slope 
pattern instead. I don't think it really fits with the actual AOI 
pattern: AOI doesn't just take the camera position as a reference point; 
instead, the ray itself serves as reference, making a big difference 
when looking at the object in a mirror; the slope pattern, on the other 
hand, is "static" in this sense.
