	// efficiency can be gained by using a separable blur
	// (blurring horizontally and vertically separately, or for large blurs,
	// even multiple horizontal or vertical passes), ideally combined with
	// doing the summing up in a fragment shader (Kage can be used here).
	//
	// So this implementation only serves to demonstrate use of alpha blending.

			// This is a blur based on the source-over blend mode,
			// which is basically (GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA). ColorM acts
			// on unpremultiplied colors, but all Ebitengine internal colors are
			// premultiplied, meaning this mode is regular alpha blending,
			// computing each destination pixel as srcPix * alpha + dstPix * (1 - alpha).
			//
			// This means that the final color is affected by the destination color when BlendSourceOver is used.
			// This blend mode is the default mode. See how this is calculated at the doc:
			// https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten/v2#Blend
			//
			// So if using the same alpha every time, the end result will sure be biased towards the last layer.
			//
			// Correct averaging works based on
			//   Let A_n := (a_1 + ... + a_n) / n
			//   A_{n+1} = (a_1 + ... + a_{n+1}) / (n + 1)
			//   A_{n+1} = (n * A_n + a_{n+1)) / (n + 1)
			//   A_{n+1} = A_n * (1 - 1/(n+1)) + a_{n+1} * 1/(n+1)
			// which is precisely what an alpha blend with alpha 1/(n+1) does.
