Not quite accurate. Several continuous patterns do have an unique 
default colour_map, but not all.
Those don't have a specific default map, unless this counts as a 
specific colour_map
colour_map{[0 rgb 0][1 rgb 1]}
  :
bumps, spotted, leopard, quilted, ripples, waves, granite, crackle, 
marble, dents, spherical, boxed, cylindrical, planar.

Those have continuous gradients, but they repeat abruptly, and don't 
have default colour map :
gradient, onion.

The first two are identical to a bozo pattern, but without the colour_map.
