Ok but the problem is that the alpha value isn't really a color information.
So it might not be a good idea to define it in the ggi_color struct, bound to
the rgb color scheme. If we use the CMYK color scheme, how do we have the alpha
channel? There would be a loss of genericity for extensions that would make
use of the alpha information regardless of the actual color scheme.
So is it really a proper way to use alpha channel?
