OK, so it turns out I don't understand cylindrical warp after all.

A few years ago, I introduced cylindrical textures to CoffeeMug in the 
object collection.  Looking back to see how I could adapt the code to 
work with cylinders or cones oriented in different directions, I 
realized that I had never specified any orientation for the coffee mug! 
I went back to RTFM to see how it would be done.

The orientation keyword would seem to do the trick, but the doc says 
that the default is <0, 0, 1>.  My coffee mug is vertically oriented, 
and my code works without changing the default.

I whipped up a test scene to investigate the orientation keyword.  I 
used Parse_String() to make sure that the SDL for each test case exactly 
matched the annotation text.  In these scenes, p_Test is defined as 
pigment { square scale 1/8 }.

True to the docs, orientation z matches the default, not orientation y. 
And somehow, orientation z corresponds to a cylinder with axis y.  I do 
not understand why this is; and more importantly, I have no clue how to 
get a cylindrical warp to match a cylinder of arbitrary orientation. 
How does it work?

Also, I am bemused by the cylinder illustration, which somehow works 
with a vertical cylinder and orientation y, and I am befuddled the 
spiral at the top; but since the example uses a non-default dist_exp 
(whose explanation soars way above my head), I don't know if it's relevant.
