why not go utf-8 and use a real gamma γ or Γ ? (aaos)

I stand by my idea of a s- prefix to rgb/rgbt/rgbf/.../red/green/blue
If it is need to be able to set the gamma factor, a prefix is better:

color srgb <2.2,1.0,0.5,0.25>

Only issue, we would end up with 6D vectors (srgbtf)... a bit long,
isn't it ?

'S' prefix, for similarity to current sRGB model, and S is available letter.
