Is it still possible to layer normals in one texture block in POV-Ray
3.5? When I create a second normal on top of another, the latest normal
is used and the underlying normal is ignored.

Is this a new feature that I can't find in the docs?

It's always been that way.

The doc has an example of two normals in one texture statement (well, there
isn't a texture wrapper but same thing) and says they should be additive.
Found that again: 3.7.2.1  Using Basic Normal Modifiers

Whoops, I was thinking you said finish.  Yeah, normal shouldn't work like
that.
