This requires you to put the pattern in a pigment, which is slower than 
just evaluating a pattern. It is more flexible though, you can vary the 
color_map to get precise control over the waveform.

Doesn't give you separate control over the normal scale and the pattern 
scale. However, in most situations, this used with bump_size would 
probably be enough.
