Finally implemented perceptual brightness thing.

% with_arrow - Instatiate processing network and run a command against it
%
% with_arrow ::
%    arrow(T1@typelist(N),T2@typelist(M),S),
%    Cmd:(unit(T1,T2,S) -> action R)  ~'function to apply to live unit',
%    {[N]->size}                      ~'sizes of inputs',
%    options {
%       pause    :: boolean/false ~'pause after creation and before destruction of unit';
%       keyboard :: boolean/false ~'drop to debug command line instead of pausing';
%       gui      :: boolean/false ~'create Java GUI for viewables'
%    }
% -> action R ~'eventually returns any return values from Cmd.
%
% This command brings to life the processing network defined by the
% supplied arrow. The function Cmd is called passing in a structure representing
% the live system. After Cmd, the system is closed in a controlled fashion,
% releasing any system resources that were claimed during construction.
% This occures even if an exception is thrown. HOWEVER - if you press Ctrl-C,
% this generates an uncatchable exception and so resources will not be
% correctly released.
%
% If the gui option is supplied, a Java GUI is created for any viewable
% objects created by the system (Java class samer.core.Viewable). This
% requires that the Java AWT be available, ie usejava('awt')==1.
