As far as I can remember (it was early and I was on my way out the door to
work):

I vstr()'d the expression White,

then instantiated the light source (copy/pasted kurtz le pirate's exact code) ,

then vstr()'d the expression White again.

Which is now even weirder, because if White got changed to include filter and
transmit, then why didn't it show up with vstr?  And why did it still have g&b
values of 1?

I'll check/post my actual code when I get home - but that won't be for another
5h.
