No, that was not the intent of this flyweight, here, I would not want to do 
this for speed considerations.  In this case here, flyweight is really for 
the color strategies, not because we have a lot of them but because their 
construction is really going to be expensive.

Look at it, we a TILE_SIZE * 4 X TILE_SIZE * 4 memory buffer that is being 
allocated already, we will have the pre-multiplied alpha which will be at 
least USHRT_MAX colors too.

Also, we want to skip on all those multiplies and divides that we would need 
for rendering otherwise.
