However, the concept sounds very interesting to me.  Keeping this at 'glow'
seems a bit limiting, but if this were to be extended to contain some form
of general object information that would be used by the post-processing
filters, that might make it worthwhile.  Of course, adding a 6th component
to the color vector would cause a loss of performance (decreased speed and
increased memory usage).  Anyway, it is a creative idea that is at least
worth considering.
