I've been experimenting with the PIL 0.1 release.

Now I'm looking ahead to an application that uses PhotoCD images.  I would
like to be able to read any of the five resolutions from a PhotoCD file.
The change announcement states only that the base resolution will be readable.

Similar problems arise with other multi-resolution formats and with formats
that encode multiple images in one file.

Given PIL's excellent architecture, where is the appropriate place to specify
which resolution or image should be read?
