  I just figured out the *perfect* example of a situation where you want
raw, linear pixel values which are *not* gamma-corrected: When you are
rendering an image which will be used as input to create a heightfield.

  There 0.5 should mean exactly half height, not a height of 0.73.

  clipca asked some time ago *why* one would ever want linear, uncorrected
pixel values. There you have your perfect example.
