As background for those following-along, most current geometry sources
have a "Material" property that assigns an initial property to
newly-created geometry, plus there is a "SetMaterial" modifier that can
be used to override the material with a fine level of granularity.
Dan's suggestion is another good example where we just need to layer
some friendlier UI over existing capabilities.
Cheers,
Tim
