[Bf-cycles] Should the Glass Node only colorize the refractive part?

[Brecht Van Lommel]

For a more realistic result, try adding colored Volume Absorption to
the volume shader, and leaving the Glass BSDF white.

Volume rendering might sound slow, but for this specific case it's
actually really fast and most likely the behavior that you want.
