  I don't like the idea of confusing the already existing "interior" keyword
with the fractal interior coloring, which have nothing to do with it.
Also I think it's good to remark that the keywords only affect the fractal
type patterns. Perhaps the ending "_type" could be removed, but somehow I
don't like that either. I like to be precise even if the keyword has to be
longer.

  Perfectly possible if you tell me how Z^C, where Z and C are complex
numbers, is calculated.
  If C were a real number then I know how to do it (although it's a little
slow).

  I appreciate your suggestions a lot.
