evaluate an option to render multichanel layers in CMYK not rgb

Maybe it is possible, because we have floating point image buffer. But I need to learn how to do it and with image file format is capable to store CMYK data.

IMHO: as we are using RGBA buffers internally for computation, the user cannot get any better than exporting RGBA in highest resolution anyway (tiff or openexr with 4 bytes per channel) and then proceed with the image in any color space he likes (HSL, RGB, CMYK) in other software.
