I would feel more comfortable if this parameter was not exposed, but
rather that sane presets were added and given names. In most cases the
additional properties of for instance a displacement map operation
might be visual and conceptual clutter getting in the users way. When
it comes to naming it; I think perhaps smoothing is a good candidate.
