TGEA terrainLight datablock

I found that there exist a terrainLight datablock for TGEA lighting system. What's its usage?

What does the LightMaskCubeMap attribute mean?

It's one of the test datablocks we use to test new and current features. The cube map field allows you to use a predefined cube map to affect the lighting - this can produce many different effects like shadowing and stained glass:

You can add the cube map's name into the light editor to assign it to the light.
