Description

In image pipelines it can be useful to know the intended colorspace of a timeline as well as the media composed into that timeline when trying to either re-create a "look" or find out what someone earlier in the pipeline may have been using in their work context (often to try and locate mismatches).
OTIO should have a way to describe colorspaces used in certain contexts.
