I really liked that, it enabled faster "preview" of 
raytraced-AO'd or something-with-raymirror renders.  
I think this is like buffered shadows, where having 
both options can be a good thing.

P.S.: BTW, Shrek 2 used "bounce shaders" for GI, 
which I believe is the same thing as f00f's 
pathtracing.  Ooh, it'll be so exciting when he gets 
it working, since I've never been satisfied with mere 
spherical sampling (aka my implementation of GI).
