Yes, that's correct. We don't currently have layered depth, nor the
forward (expensive) way of looping for each transparent item.

The current levels mainly use transparent parts for glowing things
(lanterns, neon billboards), windows, and water, all parts that
shouldn't be lit nor receive shadows. (water has special handling for
the sun though, for the specular)

Most of the vegetation is also better off with alpha testing, as their
textures have hard-line separation, not a feathered/soft one.
