// ISpecularCompositeShader is used to let a shader choose the manner
// that it combines specular and diffuse lighting. The shader can use
// any information in the RenderGlobalContext to make this decision.

// Several shaders, include anisotropic, translucent, and multilayer
// combine specular and diffuse lighting using this equation:
//   L = specular + (1 - specular) * diffuse
// This only works when 0 <= specular <= 1. These shaders use this
// interface to determine whether we are rendering with a tone operator.
// If the render is using a tone operator, then the specular and diffuse
// lighting is simply added for the total lighting.

// In order for a StdMtl2 to ask for and call this interface for a shader
// it must return MTLREQ_PREPRO in it's LocalRequirements method.
