  Yes, I was thinking about adding different (predefined) formulas for
coloring the interior and exterior of the fractals.
  I thought also about letting the user to specify coloring methods or even
pixel color calculations, but that would be almost like making a programmable
shader, I think.
  Adding those pattern types was quite easy just by looking how the mandel
type was done. I have not studied the povray source code so much that I
could add a completely new type of block with its own syntax.
