The "transform {}" syntax seems not to work within textures...
This:

   texture_map {
      #local J = 0;
      #while(J < Samples)
         [J/(Samples - 1) Texture transform {rotate y*Amt*pow(J/(Samples 
- 1), Exp)}]
         #local J = J + 1;
      #end
   }

will give a parse error "Expected 'transform identifier', { found 
instead", but this works:

   texture_map {
      #local J = 0;
      #while(J < Samples)
         #local Trans = transform {rotate y*Amt*pow(J/(Samples - 1), 
Exp)}
         [J/(Samples - 1) Texture transform Trans]
         #local J = J + 1;
      #end
   }


(I will post a test scene if necessary)
I have only noticed it happening in texture_maps, but I think I saw 
someone else mention it happening with pigments, so there are probably 
other cases where it happens.
