I don't quite understand. What would MakeTileMap do? Does it create
zillions of layered pigments where each tile gets a layer? I tried that
before I wrote the patch, there is only limited layering in a texture,
and at some points I needed to use more tiles than was permitted.

I have never heard of a nested gradient pattern.
