[Bf-funboard] Array modifier offset sugestion

[Jorge Vasquez]

Speaking of the Array modifier, a couple of things that I've always felt
would be really cool to have are:

1. The option to add some randomization to the location/rotation/scale of
each object.

and

2. The option to apply to separate objects instead of a single mesh. This
would be an alternative option, maybe "Apply to objects", and work like
this:  if you had a array with 8 repetitions, and you apply it in this
alternative manner, you'd end up not with a single mesh but with 8 separate
objects each with its pivot point where the original object had it, and
with the corresponding transfomations to it.

But , I can't code in C++, hahahaha, just a little python, so I just can
share the idea, and offer to help whoever feels this is a good Idea too and
would be willing to implement it.
