Exactly how much work is required to create transforms from any other
colorspace to the existing babl pixel formats?
Is sRGB hardcoded in all the operations that flip pixel formats or it
can be replaced without having to re-write all of them?

I mean, would it be possible to create different "profiles" (note that
I'm not talking about ICC profiles) specifying the primaries, gamma and
white point of other colorspaces so they can be used instead of sRGB?

If that was possible, it would be accessible to people like Elle who
want to create such profiles and edit in a specific colorspace without
the unbounded transforms and data, right?
