Hmm. Thought that trying to computer the effect of media that changed 
"inside" an object, and what that does on light was a problem, now we 
have new math, talking about the behavior of light as it transitions the 
boundary between two media, where the boundary has some very odd 
characteristics:

I guess we should fix reflection and refraction first :-P
