COLOR BASE CONCEPTS The most common use of color base is in the implementation of a pixel, in which case the color elements are channel values. The color base concept, however, can be used in other scenarios. For example, a planar pixel has channels that are not contiguous in memory. Its reference is a proxy class that uses a color base whose elements are channel references. Its iterator uses a color base whose elements are channel iterators. A color base must have an associated layout (which consists of a color space, as well as an ordering of the channels). There are two ways to index the elements of a color base: A physical index corresponds to the way they are ordered in memory, and a semantic index corresponds to the way the elements are ordered in their color space. For example, in the RGB color space the elements are ordered as {red_t, green_t, blue_t}. For a color base with a BGR layout, the first element in physical ordering is the blue element, whereas the first semantic element is the red one. Models of `ColorBaseConcept` are required to provide the `at_c<K>(ColorBase)` function, which allows for accessing the elements based on their physical order. GIL provides a `semantic_at_c<K>(ColorBase)` function (described later) which can operate on any model of ColorBaseConcept and returns the corresponding semantic element.

        template <int K> struct kth_element_type;                 where Metafunction<kth_element_type>;

        // The result of at_c
        template <int K> struct kth_element_const_reference_type; where Metafunction<kth_element_const_reference_type>;
