mhh. ok. I don't like to impose limits on what people can do, as it is
impossible to guess needs, but allowing the segfault isn't nice either.

3 decimal places give 1 part per thousand, which is higher resolution
than the 1/256 input. You may remember that some time ago we changed
ps.map output colors from 2 decimal places to three so we didn't lose
information.

I saw the reference to that in the man page, what uses BGR?


Is CMYK just a calculation or is it more involved? Would it be useful
for anything, or just a gimmick?
