It already works, partially. Turbulence affects the altitude component of the
pattern, but not the slope component. If you have "slope y" (no altitude
component) turbulence does nothing.
But it should be possible to make turbulence affect the slope component also;
turbulating the normal vector before passing it to the pattern function should
give the desired result. How difficult this is to implement - I know not.
