/*
 * A Camera has a location, orientation, lens, and color filter.  The
 * viewer sits at given <distance> from the <target>, in the direction
 * of the <eye>. The vectors <sea> and <sky> point horizontally to the
 * right and vertically upward on the screen.  The viewing angle is
 * controlled by changing the viewer, target, and/or the distance
 * between them.
 *
 * The implementation data comprise:
 *   - a frame ({sea, sky, eye}, with the intuitive meanings:)
 *   - a viewpoint
 *   - a target (at the center of the field of view)
 *   - the distance from the viewpoint to the target
 *   - a "filter" color, Neutral by default, for color separation, etc.
 *   - a Lens
 *
 * A Lens is a mapping P -> pair. In the implementation, the Camera
 * ("body") passes the orientation, target, and distance to the Lens
 * operator.
