[Boost-users] [GIL] Why does 'get_color' take a tag object instead of its type only?

Hi there,

I'm curious of why gil::get_color(pixel, tag) is defined that way.
Any need to take the tag value?

If not, I'd prefer gil::get_color<Tag>(pixel) or just gil::get<Tag>(pixel)
or even Tag::get(pixel).

And if possible, I hope GIL would just make pixel a Fusion sequence.

Thanks.
