Description

As discussed here: https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/659

This naming could make it clearer that it only applies to JPGs.

The proposed syntax would be:

pipeline.resize(100,100).whenJpeg({quality : 75}).toBuffer(function(){})

Which would do the same as:

pipeline.resize(100,100).jpeg({quality : 75, force : false}).toBuffer(function(){})

Alternative function names could be ifJpeg or jpegOptions.

I don't know this lib well enough to know whether force: false should be deprecated/removed or not.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked issue #659 and comparing the proposed whenJpeg syntax with the existing jpeg({quality: 75, force: false}) behavior. Trace how the JavaScript pipeline exposes format-specific methods, then determine the scope for equivalent PNG and other format methods. Done means the naming and compatibility direction is settled and the documented behavior matches the existing option.
