allow passing pattern to sometimesBy and friends?

[felixroos]

this would be nice to randomly switch between patterns:

"bd".sometimes("hh").s().fast(4).out()

can be done with

Pattern.prototype._sometimesBy = function (x, other) {
  other = typeof other === 'function' ? other(this._undegradeBy(1 - x)) : reify(other)._undegradeBy(1 - x);
  return stack(this._degradeBy(x), other);
};

It reads well but I wonder if it gets in the way of understanding what's going on / what's possible.

Something more explicit:

"bd".sometimes(replace("hh")).s().fast(4).out()

In haskell replace would be const. util.js defines this as constant but it's not (yet) curried, and it's not the nicest name.

hm yes it's actually much more readable that way

Actually we already have set for this

Somehow squeeze/setSqueeze isn't a top level function yet but this works well

"bd".sometimes(x => x.squeeze("hh hh hh")).s().fast(4).out()

[yaxu]

"bd@2 bd".sometimes(x => x.squeeze("hh hh hh")).s().out()
