I have myself used metric, form and solid from crackle, but I've never 
found a use for offset (Has anyone else?). Not quite sure with just a 
sip or two of coffee if I completely follow your form and solid being 
opposites statement...

I also frequently use the wave modifiers with crackle - turbulence, 
poly_wave etc. Given we'd control the point set we could implement 
turbulence to a regular point set ourselves, but having built in 
turbulence would certainly be handy. poly_wave, etc, I think would need 
to be inbuilt.

I had some ideas for metric too - that might apply to crackle as well. 
Let me dig into some old work with crackle this morning to refresh 
crackle in my own mind. I'll follow up with another post in a while.

Aside: Christoph, with the new repeat keyword, has - at least to some 
extent - addressed one of the things I wished for from definable voronoi 
point sets. I was thinking with control of the points, I could mirror 
the point set environments myself around the crackle pattern I wished to 
tile. Suppose this suggests a repeat keyword for any new 
non-solid-voronoi pattern would be handy, if not absolutely needed. :-)
