Ok. To me, it looks identical to GIF: it is primarily an image format
but with non-essential animation features, it was first implemented as
part of img2 and only when somebody did actually implement the animation
features was it implemented as an actual demuxer. I think it was the
right approach.

Anyway, whatever solution is chosen to fix it, the big chunk of logic
duplication between the demuxer and the decoder as they are is IMO
unacceptable in new and non-essential code. Even more so in the scope of
an internship project, where the primary goal is not to produce code as
fast as possible but to teach good coding practices.

Therefore I urge again to post a dump of a typical three-images FITS
file and comment it to see which part belong in which data structure.
