Comment:

 [attachment:6821.diff Attached] is an initial abstraction of GD with
 WP_Image_Editor.
 A partially built Imagick Editor Class is also included, but isn't
 functioning yet.

 Comments and testing welcome!  At the moment, there remain a few things:
 * Clear out and further abstract some of the remaining GD functionality in
 core
 * Audit entire code base for further necessary changes to use
 WP_Image_Editor (this is started)
 * Refine filters for new class, making sure that we're not limiting users
 in extending Image Editing in core
 * Finish Imagick class first, then finally convert (if there's time).
 Imagick first only because it's a lot more similar in functionality to the
 GD Editor class, and is the low-hanging fruit for "next editor."
 * Performance and quality testing on both editors.

 Please note if you'd like to help with any of this, or have any questions!
