Immutable would have been fine by me, all I want is const access to the pixels, but that doesn't seem to be possible either.
So as far as my situation goes, what I'm after is an efficient way of starting from a path to some sort of raster image and obtaining a raw pixel buffer I can read. [Obviously if actually reading from disk then the disk will be the bottleneck, but it's often in the disk cache, in which case the extra data copy associated with [NSBitmapImageRep getBitmapDataPlanes] is a problem. I was rather liking the file-format-agnostic abilities of initWithContentsOfFile.
