But radiosity worked differently. Previously it required ingerention as ini
switch. Now it is on just with radiosity{} block. Usually users have scenes
controlled with switches like:
  #declare Use_Focal     = on;
  #declare Use_Radiosity = on;
When something is specified in script (like focal) and interfere with ini
switch (like AA) then script has priority. When radiosity is invoked it
automatically turn on pretrace. There is neither warning that it could
interfere with ini setting nor good note in documentation.
