--- Similar to cubeapply, except that it takes 2 positions and randomly keeps changes based on a noise pattern.
-- Takes a backup copy of the defined region, runs the given function, and then
-- restores the bits that aren't above the nosie threshold.
-- @param	{Position}	pos1	The 1st position defining the region boundary
-- @param	{Position}	pos2	The 2nd positioon defining the region boundary 
-- @param	{Function}	func	The function to call that performs the action in question. It is expected that the given function will accept no arguments.
