    describes a transformation where the multiplication takes place first.

        In general, you want to apply a transformation to an entire image.
        But in the special case where you know that the image is all one color,
        you can save cycles by just applying the transformation to that color
        and then constructing an image of the desired size.

        For example, in the result of the following code,
        image1 and image2 should be identical:

            rgbt = create_some_rgb_tranform()
            white = (255, 255, 255)
            size = (100, 100)

            image2 = PIL.Image.new("RGB", size, rgbt.applied_to_pixel(white))

        The construction of image2 will be faster for two reasons:
        first, only one PIL image is created; and
        second, the transformation is only applied once.

        The input must have at least three channels;
        the first three channels will be interpreted as RGB,
        and any other channels will pass through unchanged.

        To match the behavior of PIL,
        the values of the resulting pixel will be rounded (not truncated!)
        to the nearest whole number.
