See my other post for my suggestion.  It doesn't quite solve the same problem
yours does, though, because there's no way to warp a point based on its
original position, so you couldn't add warps together like what you're proposing
would; you can only do them in sequence.  Perhaps a 

  warp { [sum|difference|cross]
    warp {blah blah blah}
    warp {blah blah blah}
  }

would be an interesting addition as well.
