Inspired to recreate the text effects as seen on the
promo pages for Apple's new (2018-09-12) iPhone lineup,
as seen at https://www.apple.com/iphone-xr/
This is refined a bit, but mostly literally lifting the
code/techniques straight from the page as-is.
- The `-webkit` prefix is a good thing here. It allows
for a better fallback for *very* old browsers.
- You'll want to use a nice "chunky" font, if you want the
texture to show through well, as they pull off here.
- Notice that the "white" header and text are inlined,
instead of their default `display: block`, so they can
get that striking white semantic heading in there. Clever!
- Don't forget that you can apply pure CSS gradients as
a background (instead of images), or other fancy things,
like video, gifs.
Shoulders of giants: See some references to other material,
that covers this far better than myself, by checking out
the related blog post that I recently added here:

The Apple stylesheet supplies a `background-repeat: no-repeat;` rule here.
You can do the same, as long as your background image
is at least as large as your text will be. Otherwise,
text that falls outside of the background image will be
invisible, and that's not good.
