Features not yet assigned to a milestone

internal

• Unified cli-ops & script parser #614 Unified parser or simplify setup No longer persued
• rework parser to be generic instead of requiring img ops to be defined in the parser
• rework parser to accept more complicated syntax like scopes/environment blocks for just image script but not cli args, which are desugared to core operations and let image operations engine work on a desugared variant
• replace interpreter style with vm
• add gpu mode which specializes some image-crate ops (enable optionally with flag)
• Accept (JSON) events as input commands

syntax

• Add unit parsing for operation arguments #600 support for units such as % and px with a default unit type

output

• Add stdout inform output  #663 Add informational operations

UI

• #todo Start with a first version of a GUI (pixels + egui?)

misc

• #todo --create-animated-image <path...>: if path is folder, make-animated from images in order from folder; if path is file and other paths are files make-animated with given file order; if path is folder and has other paths, reject; if given glob decide what to do
