It is.   But masking the true nature of what the macro does, and probably
slowing down the scene seems (to me) to be far worse.

Would not a simple one line

function {pigment { Pigment }}

be perfectly adequate, easily enough understood, and encourage greater education
and understanding about how _so many_ thing in POV-Ray really work?

I learned so much, and understood so much more, when I made all the connections
between functions, pigment patterns, isosurfaces, parametrics, and uv-mapping.

Even the recent question about interpolating color_map values is something I
would have never been able to adequately answer, if at all, only a few years
ago.
