Yeah, poly_wave isn't ideal for this purpose. Fine pigment_map entry
manipulation is a decent solution, although it would be nice if to have other
options available even for this (having only linear interpolation for map
entries can be frustrating at times).

I agree.

Somebody needs to start a big wish list thread, for all those things we're dying
to have implemented in future versions :)
