There are too many useful blending modes; "colorize" can be done in LAB,
"over" can be done in linear light.  With only "over" a nested layer tree
can be rendered flat.

We need to draw the line somewhere. An image viewer should be correct,
robust, and fast, not bloatware.  And libora should not have to solve all
the rendering performance problems in the raster world.
