That's what I thought, too ;)

It'll also work for isosurfaces, although that's probably less exciting
as it's easy to achieve the same effect with a function pattern there.

I had originally pondered the idea of making the mechanism a function,
but shyed away from the challenge of wading through the function virtual
machine stuff. Implementing new patterns is so much easier! It's as if
someone had already refactored the hell out of that portion of the code
;) [pats himself on the back, then clears his throat]

Can't wait for people to put this to use in emissive media!

And thanks to pattern functions it may also be of interest to the
isosurfers.
