+/** Components for building our canonical sRGB -> linear and linear -> sRGB transformations.
+ *
+ *  Current best practices:
+ *      - for sRGB -> linear, lookup R,G,B in sk_linear_from_srgb;
+ *      - for linear -> sRGB, call sk_linear_to_srgb() for R,G,B, clamp to 255, and round;
+ *      - the alpha channel is linear in both formats, needing at most *(1/255.0f) or *255.0f.
+ *
+ *  sk_linear_to_srgb()'s output requires rounding; it does not round for you.
+ *
+ *  Given inputs in [0,1], sk_linear_to_srgb() will not underflow 0 but may overflow 255.
+ *  The overflow is small enough that you can safely either clamp then round or round then clamp.
+ *  (If you don't trust the inputs are in [0,1], you'd better clamp both sides immediately.)
+ *
+ *  sk_linear_to_srgb() will run a little faster than usual when compiled with SSE4.1+.
