I uv-mapped a texture of a text object pattern, where the positive space has
a reflection { } value of 0.

#local Stamp = text { ... }
#local T1 = Metal (Palette [Index + Unit], Spec);
#local T2 = Metal (Palette [Index + Unit], 0);
#local N1 = normal { object { Stamp } -0.05 accuracy 0.002 };
texture
{  uv_mapping object
   {  Stamp
      texture { T1 normal { N1 } }
      texture { T2 normal { N1 } }
   }
}

Some context:  Metal() is a macro that i wrote that returns a metallic
texture.  Palette (Index + Unit) is an rgb value, and Spec is a reflection
{ } value.
