Oooohh. Another lightbulb going off. Thanks. I understood the points about
this being abstracted, but I was thinking that maybe you were saying there
was actually a way to specify one vs. another, and that attention should be
paid to this. Now I understand what you mean.

In the histogram operation project there is a step where you declare support
for certain pixel formats. Aren't there more pixel formats than that though?
Does supporting those three (step 5), somehow cover everything that needs to
happen?
