I finally got around to implementing patterned light sources, here are 
the first results. The patch isn't quite finished yet, see my post in 
.unofficial.patches for details. Here is the code for these two light 
sources:
light_source {< -8, 5,-3>*2,
    pigment {onion
        color_map {
            [0 color Red]
            [0.5 color Green]
            [1 color Blue]
        }
        translate < -5, 0.5,-3>*2
    }
    color Yellow
    map_type 0
}
light_source {< 2, 5,-5>*2,
    pigment {onion
        color_map {
            [0 color Red]
            [0.5 color Green]
            [1 color Blue]
        }
        translate < 2, 5,-5>*2
    }
    color Yellow
    map_type 0
}

Oh, that is something I forgot about. You can specify both the solid 
color and a pigment, the pigment overrides the color. I had both 
specified while I was working on some code that hadn't yet been changed 
to use the pigment, and just never deleted it from the .pov file.

Well...since I haven't gotten the mappings working yet, it would just 
look like caustics with the pattern(the pattern itself won't be 
refracted/reflected). I am still working on that part.

Great. This has wonderful possibilities. Look forward to seeing it in the
next megapatch

I agree. I was just thinking how easy it would be to simulate a prism
color spectrum using a rainbow color map with a gradient pattern. It
would be much faster than using photons with dispersion and would give
you greater control over the colors. This is just one idea for this
feature !

What happens if the color map is scaled very small or the frequency increased a
lot?  Maybe some interesting colorations at certain places and the rest more or
less like white light perhaps?

Do this with two light_sources and yo get interference patterns tha can be 
used to measure, and thus triangulate, objects. Mmm, where is my optics 
book ...
