Of course we haven't. We could have if somebody would implement it. IIRC you
were talking about it already in the past and AFAIR you promised to deliver
patch with something like this. But you didn't IIRC. Did you?

With the risk of repeating it again, are you aware of how many objects are hit
in radiosity scenes for each pixel with every intersection? Do you know memory
behind it? Do you know that antialiasing increases it? Do not theoretize
please, Rafal. Take a compiler which you already have and finaly prove us
something! I would be happy to see it.
