The implementation of IB::pixeltype() was:
But there is a flaw in this logic: If only the metadata has been read but not the pixels, the local pixels might not be allocated yet, but also there is not a cache and no cached pixel type, so pixeltype() will return UNKNOWN even though we do already know what type of pixels will be stored when they are eventually read.
The correct logic is:
Also, for legit cached images, ensure that cachedpixeltype is set upon read_spec() and doesn't have to wait for a full read().
