Finally implemented perceptual brightness thing.

% uiter - Run iterative thing on a live processing unit 
%
% uiter :: 
%    unit({}, _, _) ~'live processing unit',
%    T:natural      ~'number of iterations to run (can be inf)',
%    (natural,Q->Q) ~'function to run one step, can be stateful',

% This function accepts the live processing unit associated
% with an arrow (as created by with_arrow). Then system is
% started, an arbitrary function is called repeatedly, and then
% the system is stopped. If an EOF exception is thrown, the
% itertion is cut short but the function returns normally.
% If any other exception is thrown, the system is stopped before
% rethrowing the exception.
