  Another handy feature for "background" would be support for a pigment
(instead of the current support for a single color).
  The pigment could be evaluated, for example, at <0,0,0> in the lower
left pixel of the image and <1,1,0> at the upper right pixel. The
functionality would be pretty similar to using the alpha channel (+ua),
but instead of blending to transparent, the image would blend to the
given pigment.

  One of the most useful applications for this would be to specify a bitmap
for the background (which is often requested by people).
