The image reader/writer model is inappropriate for more rich images format
like grib, netcdf, jpeg-2000, dicom. there are to much ambiguity in how to read or
write only parts of multidimensional images, acess overviews or add slices.
A store approach will provide a better control of the image store content and
metadatas.
