That is a very clean abstraction.  It doesn't quite cover our use-case
of supporting multiple readers for the same format, but then I also
don't know if that is ideal.

We could make these things explicit:

import skimage.io.matplotlib as skio

skio.imread(...)

At the moment, we support either matplotlib, freeimage, pil, or
whatever is around on the system to do the job.  I guess the __init__
could try and import plugins until it finds one that works.
