In which case can this be made explicit? It's really not obvious from
either the documentation or the code.

In addition, I've just discovered this:

#version 3.7;
#local f = function { pigment { rgb <10, 10, 10> }}
#warning str(f(0, 0, 0).red, 0, 1)

...prints 10.

Also I note that some of the internal pattern functions that drive
things like cubic, hexagon etc will return values outside [0..1]. But I
think these are all safely isolated from the user, unless there's a code
path to Evaluate_TPat which I haven't found yet.
