It exists because of the annoying disagreement between the orientation
of the data in most image file formats and the default orientation for
textures images in OpenGL. There are a some image file formats that have
a bottom left orientation and there is one, extremely common, format,
EXIF, that includes metadata giving the visual orientation of the image.
The flipY item in the proposed dictionary could be handily extended to
an enum. E.g.,

  * "none" - leave orientation alone
  * "flipY" - ignore the EXIF orientation, just flip in Y
  * "topLeftEXIF" - identify visual orientation from EXIF data and
    re-order data so top-down, left-to-right processing for display
    results in correct visual orientation
  * "bottomRightEXIF" - as above but ordered for bottom-up,
    left-to-right processing
