However, if there could be a standard for texture mapping patterns &
stickers (and parts made by mixing multiple colors of plastic), that would
solve this dilemma -- simple patterns could be modeled with color codes, and
advanced patterns could be modeled with texture maps. But I’m just dreaming
there...

That could yet happen (and possibly much sooner than you might expect).

Since the proof-of-concept work for texture mapping took place “out in the open”
on Facebook, Steve is aware of what’s been done so far.
I think the real “dream” here is having it widely available, since to add
texture mapping to MLCAD without upgrading MLCAD to OpenGL would be quite a bit
of work, more than we might hope to see any time soon.
So while there’s a viable syntax and proof waiting to be implemented more
widely, and in fact texture mapping is here, today (my Facebook profile
picture being a very good example), it’s not imminent for widespread use by
everyone without a few more hurdles, unfortunately. :(
