Actually I wasn't thinking of just any pattern type.

For example - turbulence 0.25 bozo - was not what I had in mind though
it does present some interesting possiblities.

Instead I was thinking something more along the lines of

turbulence 0.25 ramp_wave

With this type of predefined turbulence modifier the octaves etc. should
work as they do now. The real problem is that I am probably thinking two
dimensionally and this may be impossible to implement in a 3D pattern.
