On the topic of high bit depth assets, it would also be nice if the 
color sliders for picking colors would read out high bit depth values, 
either always floating point, or else as appropriate to the bit depth of 
the image.

Eigh-bit integer color sliders for picking colors just isn't enough 
precision for working with high bit depth images.

Twice I've tried to modify the relevant code, but failed because I 
couldn't figure out how to get past the part of the code that seems to 
use the size of the box to relate slider movements to the RGB values. 
All the relevant code uses guchar variables.
