OIIO may deal with image *files* rather than movie *files*, but the image files 
it deals with are often individual frames of motion pictures and at least two 
of the commonly-used formats (OpenEXR and DPX) have provisions in their 
specifications for fields that are SMPTE timecodes. We need to accommodate this 
fact in some way, it's just a matter of balancing the desire to make that 
timecodes not too awkward, with also making it not too intrusive on the 
internals, the formats that don't have SMPTE timecodes, and apps.
