Now I've tried clipped_by (in the lamp body object within looks_like) AND 2x8
lights - and here's the result!
Gradually, I begin to ask myself how bad these things could go wrong... :-(((

The two pale blue spotted rectangles separated by a narrow strip of dark wall
obviosly are the box I liked to have cut from the lamp body - but are you sure
that clipped_by really substitutes difference rather than intersection (the PoV
Manual describes it as equivalent to intersection!)?

See you in Khyberspace!
