The windows.h header file defines the macro max. If the max macro is include
it will lead to name collisions with the std::numeric_limits<T>::max() function.
One solution is to define NOMINMAX before the inclusion of windows.h.
However, that might be a demanding task for a large codebase. Defining the
NOMINMAX as global define may also break previous code.
Another to solution to the problem is to wrap the numeric_limits function in
parenthesis to instruct the compiler to treat it as a function and not a macro.
This commit wraps the std::numeric_limits<T>::max() calls in the public
interfacing header files, with parenthesis.
Red and blue channels were mislabeled. Otherwise, coding and decoding was
performed correctly, as far as the color channel order described in the manual
is followed by the user.
No change to the binary protocol was made.
