+/**
+ * Local exposure: each region of the frame brought part of the way toward the frame's own
+ * brightness, so shade and sun can both be read in one picture.
+ *
+ * **A tone curve maps one range, and a sunlit courtyard is two.** Measured in a bought courtyard at
+ * noon, the shaded arcades hold a fiftieth of the light the sunlit paving does, which is what the
+ * place is: a canyon lit mostly by its own walls. Exposed for the paving the arcades go to black,
+ * exposed for the arcades the paving goes to white, and no curve fixes both, because a curve is a
+ * function of a pixel's brightness and the same brightness has to mean shade in one place and sun in
+ * another. A photographer brackets; an eye adapts by region. This is the second.
+ *
+ * **A bilateral grid over the exposure meter's tiles.** The grid pass writes, for each of the
+ * meter's 32 × 32 tiles and each of ten two-stop bands of log luminance, the sum and the share of
+ * the tile's taps that fell in that band, and in an eleventh block the tile's mean. The composite
+ * reads the grid at the pixel's place and in the pixel's own band, filtered in both, so a shaded
+ * pixel beside sunlit ones takes the shade's level rather than the tile's: that is what keeps the
+ * lift from haloing across the edge of a shadow. The band's level is blended 0.4 toward the tile's
+ * mean, which is what stops a texture's own light and dark being flattened into one another.
+ *
+ * **The gain is `strength · (held − local)` stops**, clamped to three: at 0.5 a region five stops
+ * under the frame is lifted two and a half, and one two over is brought down one. The held value is
+ * eye adaptation's, so the frame as a whole still adapts and regions are moved relative to it.
+ *
+ * What it gives up is some of the contrast between regions, which is the point, and a halo a tile
+ * wide where two regions share a band and differ in brightness. What would make it wrong is a scene
+ * whose drama is the contrast itself: a single shaft into a dark room wants the room dark, and the
+ * strength is the caller's for that reason.
