  slope-dependent pattern

Got a question for you all:

Does anybody use the advanced features of MegaPov's slope-dependent pattern?
Anything that can be done with the advanced features can be replicated using
a combination of the simple slope pattern, gradient, and color_maps, using
pigment_pattern to combine everything.  Personally, I think the advanced
features are quite confusing and difficult to use.

Therefore, I'm thinking about removing them from future versions of MegaPov
(and probably POV 3.5, also) and keeping only the simple form of slope (
"slope <vector>" ), but I didn't want to do that if enough people thought
they were very useful.
