And what if it just works with the object that currently is ray-traced, 
not with a declared object?

sphere {
  0,1
  pigment {
    function {
      select(trace(...), ..., ...)
    }
    colour_map {
    	...
    }
  }
}

Gives some result on the first object-ray intersection that can be used 
in the pigment calculation
