/* ---- Torn rules ----
   The same idea as the ring around the author portraits: a straight stroke
   shoved around by turbulence, then bitten into by a second, harder-edged noise
   so the line breaks up the way a dry brush does.

   This is a mask rather than a filter because the ring's filter is declared
   inline in authors.html, and these rules appear on every page. Masking also
   leaves the colour in CSS, so the line still follows --ink and still inverts
   for print. Both bars of the old double rule are drawn inside the mask, since
   a box-shadow would be clipped away by it.

   Two knobs. The displacement `scale` (3) is how far the line wanders: much
   past 3 and a 3px stroke stops reading as a torn edge and starts reading as a
   wave. The feFuncA `intercept` (-5.6) sets how much gets bitten out. Turbulence
   averages 0.5, so with slope 8 the erosion starts at luminance 0.7 and takes
   roughly 8% of the line; raising it toward -4 chews away far more than it
   looks like it should. */
