Research direction
Start by tracing the Symbol Raster implementation and reviewing issues #138 and #139 for the gradient mode and complex preset context. Determine where the current 8-bit limit is enforced and how larger word sizes should behave; done means both listed use cases support word sizes greater than 8 bits.
