I think what he means is rather than one image with one 128-bit complex
sample per pixel, produce a single image with two 64-bit
double-precision samples per pixel, treating one of these samples as the
real part and one as the imaginary part.  This should be possible to do
in the TIFF format right now, without any sort of extensions.
