Julia 0.6 TODO: write awesome promotion rules

[timholy]

They're beautiful, not awful. Though I know exactly what you mean. So glad to have this fixed!

Can they move to ColorTypes.jl? (0646395)

Colors.jl/src/Colors.jl

Lines 9 to 11 in 0ceb396

	# TODO: why these types are defined here? Can they move to ColorTypes.jl?
	AbstractAGray{C<:AbstractGray,T} = AlphaColor{C,T,2}
	AbstractGrayA{C<:AbstractGray,T} = ColorAlpha{C,T,2}

Colors.jl/src/promotions.jl

Lines 1 to 6 in 5d6f18a

	Base.promote_rule(::Type{C3}, ::Type{Cgray}) where {C3<:Color3,Cgray<:AbstractGray} = base_colorant_type(C3){promote_type(eltype(C3), eltype(Cgray))}
	Base.promote_rule(::Type{C3}, ::Type{Cagray}) where {C3<:Color3,Cagray<:AbstractAGray} = alphacolor(base_colorant_type(C3)){promote_type(eltype(C3), eltype(Cagray))}
	Base.promote_rule(::Type{C3}, ::Type{Cgraya}) where {C3<:Color3,Cgraya<:AbstractGrayA} = coloralpha(base_colorant_type(C3)){promote_type(eltype(C3), eltype(Cgraya))}
	Base.promote_rule(::Type{C3}, ::Type{Cgray}) where {C3<:Transparent3,Cgray<:AbstractGray} = base_colorant_type(C3){promote_type(eltype(C3), eltype(Cgray))}
	Base.promote_rule(::Type{C3}, ::Type{Cgray}) where {C3<:Transparent3,Cgray<:TransparentGray} = base_colorant_type(C3){promote_type(eltype(C3), eltype(Cgray))}

Those seem like reasonable candidates for moving.

Bump.
JuliaGraphics/ColorTypes.jl#129
JuliaGraphics/ColorTypes.jl#164

I wrote awful promotion rules in ColorTypes.jl on Julia 1.3 (cf. JuliaGraphics/ColorTypes.jl#170). 😄
The rules will take effect in the next release.
