I don't understand how it can be useful though, if I have an image
internally represented at -128..127, and I dump it as unorm 0.255 it
is going to actually me less useful I would guess as I'd try and
interpret it. Though I've no idea what negative color looks like, the
hooks are pretty easy to add in, but I'd like to add something to warn
if they ever get used.
