Unfortunately, this is not the case.  My goal is specifically to describe a
material in which the electrical conductivity and permittivity vary continuously
with position.  Due to Meep's architecture, it is not possible to generate a new
polarizability at each location.  Instead, we are intended to use the sigma
function to generate a single polarizability object whose behavior depends on
position.  If sigma is not meant to be passed as a function, then sigma and
delta-epsilon are entirely redundant.

Is this a bug, either in documentation or in implementation?
