 Well...it was a nice *idea*, but... no good.

Objects' surface finishes like phong/specular, and/or especially reflection,
screw up the gray-scale values imposed by the fog. So all of those need to first
be reduced to zero, as has already been mentioned. And any texture transparency
is also a big problem.

My bad.

----------
It would be useful to have 'global' multipliers for most or all of the various
finish{...} attributes-- similar to the current ambient_light keyword-- to
easily and quickly reduce any of those parameters in a scene to zero if needed.

Like...
emission_light *float value*
reflection_global *float value*
phong_global *float value*
.... etc.

And maybe even one for object transparency! (t and f both)
