Thanks, Thomas.  You've done a masterful job with your implementation of so many
features into this material {}, and I think this is a surface texturing example
that is very thorough and professional.   Hopefully it inspires further
development of other challenging textures and materials, and maybe a revisiting
of other excellent textures developed by some of the very talented members of
the POV-Ray community over the years.

jr is a real workhorse, with an impressive skill set, and a thirst for attacking
new projects with gusto.  I'm glad the three of us got to network and
collaborate on this so that the whole package - macro, example scenes, and
documentation are as good as we could make them given the usual constraints of
time and energy.

It will be interesting to see how others come up with independent methods of
constructing new patterns and color maps.  You've already created quite a
selection of nice materials to serve as examples of how it all works.

But of course you are  :D
