I'm hopeful of that too, and I think there's already some preliminary evidence for that within Images itself. Hopefully more will come as people start to use it. One thing I should clarify is that, while Images has long striven for a separation between _meaning_ and _representation_, pretty much from inception I frankly struggled with how to achieve that goal for intensity. The key insight---that what we needed was a new number type---was a suggestion of Stefan Karpinski's (https://github.com/JuliaLang/Color.jl/issues/42#issuecomment-50103642). So while you won't see his fingerprints on the code, I suspect his elegant idea will have far-reaching impact. Best, --Tim
