Classes
class	ph::MaskedIntersectable
	Carve out some part of an intersectable. This is a masking approach based on intersection routine. Another common approach to shape masking is BSDF-based, where the mask determines whether the incoming light simply passes through (a no-op, perfectly transmitting BSDF). There is a trade-off between these approaches: masking in intersection routine samples the mask texture (usually a slower operation) in the tight loop of acceleration structure traversal, while masking in BSDF will need to re-enter the acceleration structure multiple times (such as when rendering a forest) which can also be slow.
