This is a very good idea, and I had originally intended to do so. This would
allow to blend the given pattern with the color-interpolation for some pretty
cool effects (I think).
Only I do not understand the POV-ray structure enough to do this. The 'upper'
layers would require some sort of transparent setting to allow the
interpolated color to shine through. I am unclear on this.
Additionally, as mentioned by T.B., it would be good to incorporate this into
the Super/UV patch, and therefore I need to dig into the mesh2 structure.
<SIGH> so much to do and so little time :)

BTW, which is the 'appropriate' place to announce/suggest patches. In
p.programming or p.unofficial-patches ?
