This provides two image classes and a bunch of functions that work on them.
Why are they separate classes? I think the operations on the two of them
are necessarily different. There's a whole bunch of operations that only
really work on truecolor (blurs, gradients), and a few that only work
on indexed images (palette swaps).
Even putpixel is pretty different. On indexed, it is a palette entry's
index number. On truecolor, it is the actual color.
A greyscale image is the weird thing in the middle. It is truecolor, but
fits in the same size as indexed. Still, I'd say it is a specialization
of truecolor.
