what i just wanted to make clear, is that there should not be any difference 
between rgba- and yuv- processing (i have heard this before)
rgba-objects are not called rgba_foo or pix_foo_rgba either, nor do grey-objects
maybe i will have some christmas-days and come back with a completely changed 
mind. who knows ?

kind of what i thought.

this is exactly what i want. (and what it does now)
