    GDT_Byte semantic is already unsigned char / uint8. What did you

    <p>That would be super confusing if we had both GDT_Byte and
      GDT_UInt8 and they are not just simple aliases.<br>
    </p>
    <p>The PIXELTYPE option should die. The RFC proposes to make it die
      on the reading side (as a metadata item).</p>
    <p>We could also make it die on the writing side as a creation
      option, but I didn't dare to do it right now and just propose this
      is considered a legacy deprecated way. Would certainly be
      something worth doing for a GDAL 4.0 if such thing ever happened.<br>
