        WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
            As the name implies, this is a traits class for pixel types.
            It defines the properties of a pixel.

        This traits class will define the following public static members:
            - bool grayscale
            - bool rgb
            - bool rgb_alpha
            - bool hsi

            - bool has_alpha

            - long num 

            - basic_pixel_type
            - basic_pixel_type min()
            - basic_pixel_type max()
            - is_unsigned

        The above public constants are subject to the following constraints:
            - only one of grayscale, rgb, rgb_alpha, or hsi is true
            - if (rgb == true) then
                - The type T will be a struct with 3 public members of type 
                  unsigned char named "red" "green" and "blue".  
                - This type of pixel represents the RGB color space.

                - is_unsigned == true
            - if (rgb_alpha == true) then
                - The type T will be a struct with 4 public members of type 
                  unsigned char named "red" "green" "blue" and "alpha".  
                - This type of pixel represents the RGB color space with
                  an alpha channel where an alpha of 0 represents a pixel
                  that is totally transparent and 255 represents a pixel 
                  with maximum opacity.
                - num == 4

                - max() == 255
                - is_unsigned == true
            - else if (hsi == true) then
                - The type T will be a struct with 3 public members of type
                  unsigned char named "h" "s" and "i".  
                - This type of pixel represents the HSI color space.
                - num == 3

                - This type of pixel represents a grayscale color space.  T 
                  will be some kind of basic scalar type such as unsigned int.
                - num == 1
