Indeed so! However, when it comes to software bugs, I have found that
nothing is impossible, with the potential exception of software that works
perfectly. I suppose I should have a look at the code myself to find out
what this critter is doing in there.

Incidentally, it seems that slope does not work sensibly in "function
 pigment { ... }}" type thing, which is not surprising per se, but it would
be nice to have it checked and reported as error. Although this in turn
would break the pigment-function equivalency, which would not be nice
either.

BTW, I posted a picture demonstrating this bug to p.b.i, have a look at your
leisure.
