Sounds powerful.  For those like myself who can't quite picture it, 
would such a feature allow one to dynamically change the scale in a 
pattern such as crackle?  You can sort of do it now of course but the 
result is this goopy averaged effect.  Would a function warp allow you 
to do something like make successive rows of cells change scale?
