Hi Naush

Thanks for all the reviews, obviously I'll make up a v4 shortly!

I actually prefer isFullyDefined ("are any fields undefined or not?")
because "valid" seems like a slightly slippery concept here. You could
have a driver choose a valid colour space but which the class doesn't
recognise. Is that "valid"? I'm not sure...

I've not not noticed other classes do that for debug strings, but It's
not a bad idea. What do other folks think?

I actually ran some little experiments with vectors vs. maps, just to
get some hints as to when it's worth the trouble of defining an
ordering (which you need for a map), or a hash (which you need for an
unordered_map). Running on a Pi I found:

* A std::map becomes faster than searching a vector of pairs after
about 20 or 30 entries.
* A std::unordered_map becomes faster than searching a vector at just
over 150 entries.
* A std::unordered_map requires "a few thousand" entries to become
faster than a std::map.

Thanks!
