  1. Precede each call with RT_Band() to return a selected band.[[BR]]
 Pros: This is a general function that can be called before any function that would otherwise require a band parameter.[[BR]]
-Cons: This implies creating a temporary raster. This might be more elegant and general but is this too much overhead comparing with having a band parameter?[[BR]]

- 1. Add a band parameter to each RT_AsFormat function.[[BR]]

+ 2. Add a band parameter to each RT_AsFormat function.[[BR]]
 Pros: Hypothetically less overhead.[[BR]]
 Cons: Every functions implying access to a band should then have this parameter when in most case it would be equal to 1. In many cases it makes no sence to have to specify a band parameter since it is the whole raster that we want to export, including all the bands.
 
-Pierre: More I think about it more I think that the first option is the best one...

-mloskot: Perhaps there is a compromise in form of two sets of functions: 1) RT_As* which always burn the whole raster (all bands) 2) RT_BandAs* which takes number of band as a parameter and return only this requested band.
