It can, but only for ICC profiles. Robert is talking about passing
in arbitrary lookup tables/curves (or at least that is the context
of our previous discussions on the subject...)
Correct -- this would be for e. g. custom linearization curves (useful
if you're using non-standard inks or unusual papers, or you simply
think that you can do a better job than we can), or GCR curves, or the
like.
