Okay, so I was right.

I don't even know if this deserves a response. This may be trivial to do this 
but without conversion it's a second set of a whole crapload of code to me 
and everyone else doing filters. "Doing it right" and natively using this 
format would mean two versions of most everything that accesses a pixel. 
Certainly it's a whole lot more work for me to add this than it is for you to 
keep existing functionality in QImage, no?
