It's allready the case in 1.6.

No we don't have. We used to have a LMS color space which I was supposed to 
use for that kind of applications, but while I have some unfinished code for 
this filter somewhere on my computer, I never found the time to finish it, 
and the code is probably dead now, as is the LMS color space :/
