'clipped_by' is almost the same as a CSG 'difference', ie. it modifies the
object, but doesn't generate surfaces on the cut part.
'bounded_by' is a hint to POVRay about complicated objects, to make
rendering faster.
Test for yourself with a new doc. in POVRay, Insert / Ready-Made Scenes /
Basic Scene, run, and remember how it looks. Now insert the line
bounded_by {box {<0,0,0>,<1,1,1>}}
in the sphere, and You'll notice no difference.
Now change this to 'clipped_by', and You know the difference.
