It takes some scrutinizing, I can see the slight differences, although I haven't
even tried this myself yet and so don't know if the float values would be the
same or not.  I guess if there were a "difference" it is the highlight diffusion
being sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on the angle of light source to
the object surfaces.  In a similar way to how angle dependant reflection works
maybe.  Or did I read that somewhere?

| Here it is.  But since the "#version unofficial MegaPov 0.4;" statement must
