Aw gee, and I thought it was something internal that I hadn't come
across<g>. This is a non-issue in Moray though, since you can see
where the looks_like object is placed, relative to the light.

I assume then, that 

light_source
{ <1,1,0>, 1
  looks_like { sphere { 0, .1 pigment { rgb 1 } finish { ambient 1 } }
}

... and ....

union
{ light_source { <1,1,0>, 1 }
  sphere { 
    0, .1 no_shadow pigment { rgb 1 } finish { ambient 1 } 
    translate <1,1,0>
  }
}

will light scene in the same way, right?
