+BEYOND BASIC COLORS
+===================
+
+Other weird effects are possible if you combine these color functions.
+
+For instance, if you do hue(x+y) you'll get a rainbow.  But remember, this is just
+outputting a number between 0 and 15.  So you can do hue(x+y) + 1 and get a different
+cycle which does not really have anything to do with the rainbow, but looks cool.
