Current disagreements

Image abstraction:

• TBD: what is a Color, the template argument to an Image
• whether there should be several different Color format and type
  • and what they would be
• whether the Image abstraction have a runtime interface
• whether the Image abstraction is a range-like concept
• whether the Image abstraction is 2D or N-dimensional
• whether there can be an additional IAllocator in Image loaders for temporary buffers, used for decoding
• who owns the Image abstraction itself (GC, RC, scoped ownership)
• how animated Image would be represented

Image loaders:

• how much Image loader are supposed to convert from one Color format to another
• whether Image loaders should have short-paths for getting image dimensions
• whether/how Image loaders should have short-paths for progressive downsampled images
