Ah, yes. Quite simple. And probably faster than a LUT. But it definitely
will be slower than a single POR.  So, before implementing it, is there
really a problem with having 7/3/7 as black? It feels wrong of course
(same as having 248/251/248 as white, like Allegro currently does) - but
the former doesn't look wrong, while the latter does (on my monitor).
