Color palette support?

While all of the above code is awesome, it’s not really a direct replacement for FastLED palettes

FastLED/FastLED/blob/master/examples/ColorPalette/ColorPalette.ino

#include <FastLED.h>

#define LED_PIN     5
#define NUM_LEDS    50
#define BRIGHTNESS  64
#define LED_TYPE    WS2811
#define COLOR_ORDER GRB
CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];

#define UPDATES_PER_SECOND 100

// This example shows several ways to set up and use 'palettes' of colors
// with FastLED.
//
// These compact palettes provide an easy way to re-colorize your
// animation on the fly, quickly, easily, and with low overhead.
//
// USING palettes is MUCH simpler in practice than in theory, so first just
// run this sketch, and watch the pretty lights as you then read through
// the code.  Although this sketch has eight (or more) different color schemes,

And

It might be nice to have a simple (cut and paste) way to use those. @jeff 's code example is probably Overkill but a good start. I’m picturing a function that essentially given a palette array (or a default), and would otherwise replace making an RGB or hsv call (likely calling it itself)

I see where this would help with translating FastLED patterns. Since I plan on that, if it doesn’t exist yet, it will soon. (I’m planning on lighting up my dark winter with lots of LED coding)
