Maybe a good idea...

I think finish_map would be a more flexible and general solution to this 
problem. Or the other extreme: maybe have every texture attribute now 
controlled with a float controlleable by an isosurface-type function. :-)
And everything that accepts a color should accept a pigment too...yes, 
it is insane...

Although I have been thinking of adding the ability to use a pigment as 
a light_source color. It would have two different modes: the usual 
pigment calculation method, where the color of the light at a point is 
the same as the pigment at that point, and a depth based calculation 
method, which would use the length the ray has travelled as the z 
distance when evaluating the pigment(good for wave simulations?).
This would be pretty easy to do, I just haven't had the time...
