I don't know why it isn't mentioned or has a property widget for it in the GUI. Stefan has a habit of adding features like a madman, but the UI guys can't keep up. I imagine he slipped it in too late to add.
What other secrets lurk? Well there's another parameter called ShadowBiasMax - not sure how that affects things. Up to now, we only had ShadowBiasMin. Since ShadowBiasMin prevents throwing a shadow within a certain distance, I would guess that ShadowBiasMax prevents throwing a shadow beyond a certain distance. That could be interesting. It may make it possible to use a local spotlight on something, such as a face, but have it not throw a shadow over a long distance. Just guessing here.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
