You've never wanted to blur a pattern before?
Well, a blurred drawing (like one that got wet), stains, fuzzy 
lettering, isosurface pigment functions...there are lots of potential 
uses. What do you use the blur filter in image editing programs for?

I don't think there *is* another way to do it. Well, you could probably 
create a DF3 pattern from an array with the data generated using 
eval_pattern()...difficult, slow, and memory consuming.
