I was reading in p.g some articles about faked motion blur and an idea 
strike me (heavy dommage, subjet might not survive...).

What about adding to pov a kind of CSG object whose ray calculation would 
perform the blur itself.
Something like

blurred {
    <OBJECT>
    moving <3d vector of displacement>
 }

Of course, "moving" would only take care of translation.
It might be necessary (later ?) to also take care of complex rotation
(such as revolution and rotation along another point, if doing some solar 
system, or along some splines (at least 3 ? or more ? or less ?))

The blurred routines would sample and average the color computation 
(which requires somehow to forbid refraction and reflection from the 
blurred object with the classical engine, but that might be done by 
forcing ambient and other finish setting...)

Also, the sampling might be automatic (like AA ?) or manually set.

Any thought about that idea ?
(I might try it once the 3.6 code become available... no promise).

Did I overlook something ?
