In that last message, I made a typo at the end, the G2 channel would be =
derived from G - Chunk, NOT G2 - Chunk.

Also, I've been thinking about the new chunk idea, and I think it would =
make sense to name this new chunk "BAyr"=20

capital first chunk that way older builds of pngcrush and whatnot don't =
just discard the whole chunk.

capital second letter that way it's known to be public, which is the =
entire purpose of suggesting this chunk to the mailing list.

lowercase third letter to indicate that incompatible apps should treat =
it as any other unknown chunk type.

lowercase last letter so programs that don't recognize the chunk and =
edit the image data throw it away because it's incorrect the moment the =
G channel in the iDAT chunks has been changed.

Phonetically spelling out BAYR, for the BAYER filter it's designed to =
add support for.
