Is there a way to blend textures, as in texture_map, but using angle of 
normal as a pattern? 

So that "walls" - surfaces like :

 |
 | plane { x,0 }  or plane { z,0 }
 |
 |

will have texture A, and flat surfaces like 

-----  plane { y,0 }

would have texture B, and

plane { y,0 rotate x*45 /* or z*45 */ }  will be 50% A and 50% B


I want to use it for rusty ship - so that deck floor would have quite 
normal surface, and all walls will have "water steams" / rust (like this 
marks under windows, etc)

So its something between MlPov's, and 3.6 faced normal pattern.

It would be excelent to have possibility of using:

pigment {
  function { normal.z }
}

where normal is normal vector of given surface in currently evaluated 
point. Or is something like this already available?

Slope pattern can help you

Yeap, it did, thanx.

Btw - isn't there any way to use it in a function? 

Like:

pigment {
  function {
    f_slope.x + x*2 + f_bozo(x,y,z)
  }
}
