Just to clarify, in my own mind, some things about the use of these functions
(because I'm currently working on an all-inclusive test scene about this stuff):

When using assumed_gamma 1.0, and in POV-ray's preview render:

If I want to *multiply* an RGB color,  rgb 0.7*<.3,.5,.7> would be OK to do.

But if I want to multiply an SRGB color,  srgb 0.7*<.3,.5,.7> would NOT be the
correct way to do it, to get the 'expected' color result (if I understand some
of Clipka's older remarks); I would instead need to use a somewhat different
multiplication scheme. Is that what these 'multiplication functions' are for--
the way to properly 'multiply' an SRGB color?

Or is   srgb 0.7*<.3,.5,.7>  perfectly OK by itself?

Or am I way off base as to what the functions themselves are meant for?
