Interesting.

I could never get those types of fractal functions to work. I *almost* got close
once... but I was playing the def/undef game, and am still unsure if I was
actually producing complex numbers, as what should have produced a Mandelbrot
set only produced semi-coherent garbage. I'll have to look at Tor's code to see
how he did it. If remember correctly, it works in a way POV shouldn't be allowed
to work...
