 Of course, that only works for truncating the decimal, but with the M 
set algorithm you don't iterate past |z| > 2 anyway.   I use [((z real * 
z real) + (z imaginary * z imaginary)<4)] to avoid round off errors from 
the internal sqrt calculation...


And I still haven't gotten around to adding etoys behavior to the 
original M set morph which was what I was trying to learn how to do 
since there's only a few parameters involved as compared to an OGLMorph 
with etoys behaviors.
