MultiImage, converse_memory and tifffile plugin

[jim at rybarski.com]

So recently I had to stop using MultiImage to open up a large TIFF stack as 
I kept getting memory errors, even when using converse_memory=True (it ends 
up loading the entire file into memory regardless). I installed the 
tifffile module and used that instead, as it has the ability to open the 
file but load only one image at a time. 

I think it would be nice if MultiImage was able to do this automatically 
(or by getting a plugin argument), especially since the behavior of the 
TiffFile class is conceptually very similar to MultiImage. Thoughts?
