No. PASSTHRU is a bad keyword. It's not a real word, it's bastardised bad English, which makes it harder to translate.
No objection to the functionality, I'm assuming there is a use-case which is why it was written, but it needs a better keyword.
Imagine someone with bad English trying to explain it to someone with no English.
"Unblocked" is better but there is probably a better word than that.

Not familiar enough with light code to spot errors, but I see no holes in it.

I think I got all the required updates

Damnit. I just had a thought. It should be IGNORES-VB
a) We need to stop sticking the L on the abbreviation when it is unnecessary, because, English, and
b) If His Majesty implements layering/elevation, there is a difference between VB & VBL,
Can you tweak the parser to accept VB as well as VBL?

If there are going to be layer groups, there would still be a layer in each group for vision blocking. Mind you VBL has been less than accurate since vision blocking could be included on tokens etc. But part of me just wonders if you are being sponsored by CUB in your quest to rebrand everything as VB :)

Yes, but what if my light is to transcend layers? Then it's just a beer with no L
BTW. Help text and translation file has been updated to include this.
