But using the wrong keyword can be very confusing. Orthographic cameras
have no angle, the angle keyword does something completely different. A
"view_area" keyword might be better.
The behavior might be intuitive and useful, but the syntax used to make
it currently is not.
On the other hand, you don't want to make different keywords that mean
the same thing, like "no_shadow" and "shadowless".
