Aha, I was just commenting on that, but now I see this. I agree, lets
keep such a change separate - this is just a refactor patch.

Why are we encoding fixed point maths here instead of floats?

Edit: Never mind ;-) It was like this before and will be tackled
separately.

I think we specify the gamma control as '1/gamma' ... so I'm curious if
we should initialise as gamma = 1 / 2; (But I get that's a bit
superfluos right now, and not for this patch which is just refactoring
the structures anyway).

What is the distinction between blc.level and gamma.blackLevel?

I think as this is just restructuring to modules - I'd overlook this for
future cleanups if the redundancy could/should be removed anyway so:
