I am not convinced. The way it's done is fine in my opinion, mainly because
it doesn't duplicate the implementation. What you suggest would be to
create specialized meta operations foo-linear and foo-perceptual on top of
foo with fixed "srgb" parameters and to hide foo... Right? I am not sure
why this would help for anything, but I don't see anything wrong. And then
it would be just a complement of what was suggested, still really easy to
do :)

Kind regards,
