I stand corrected. #constitute even scales floats to the correct range
automatically; this should help tidy up some of my code quite nicely.

#constitute should probably appear under store_pixel's "See also" in
the docs. I've always thought the xMagick libraries had rather poorly
named functions: heavy cross-linking makes it easier to find the tools
you never knew you needed.

Thanks for the pointer.
