Sometimes, when I come across an interesting POV problem, I 'm like a dog
chewing on a bone:  I can't let it go!  :-) When I'm experimenting, I like to
throw some really ridiculous things at POV-Ray--just to see what might happen!
More times than not, it leads me to a better understanding of how POV works.

You're right, of course. In coming up with this goofy work-around, I was tying
to figure out--in my own mind-- *some* kind of logical reason as to why it
seemed to work; but my explanation is probably not accurate at all.

BTW, I'm curious as to what function{1) or function{0} actually do. I've never
used a function of a constant before. Can you explain?
