I found a photograph which I guess is spotting the additional color stripes (a
so called 'supernumerary rainbow') that you mentioned. And no, my include file
doesn't simulate those, beacause in this picture, the contrast was increased
artificially. So you will never see this phenomenon in nature with your own
eyes. That's the simply reason why I left them out :)
