That's exactly what i meant.

I think that would suffice, since a warp does not only specify the amount
but also the direction, this could be even more universal.

Not sure whow you mean that, the purpose i was thinking of was for example
controlling the fine structure of an isosurface landscape depending on the
slope of it's large scale shape.
