Yes - I thought of mentioning this. Actually, I thought of it the other way
around - if you're creating "natural" objects, such as columns that have
been weathered, then generally it makes sense to position your objects first
and texture later otherwise it can be very obvious that similiar objects are
using identical patterns, so:

union{
    object{my_column}
    translate <A,B,C>
    texture{my_column_texture}
}

rather than

union{
    object{my_column}
    texture{my_column_texture}
    translate <A,B,C>
}
