Description
Possibilities:
- a min option and a max option.
- support domain: [min, undefined] and domain: [undefined, max]
- support domain as a function of the channels
min and max is more straightforward, but we'd have to decide what happens when people specify both a min and an explicit domain (a warning maybe?).
domain as a function opens lots of other possibilities (like custom “nicing”), which might be a pro or a con.

Research direction
The issue does not identify a file, test, or entry point to inspect. First resolve whether partial extents use min/max options, undefined domain bounds, or a domain function, including how explicit domains interact with min and max. Done requires an agreed API and behavior before implementation can be scoped.
