That is exactly the point I'm trying to make. Everybody knows the order
as being R-G-B, but the function BGRA() seems to imply B-G-R order.

I think renaming those two functions to RGBA() would be more logical -
even if you don't know the parameter names (ie: just by looking at a
code sample).

Yes, but just looking at a code sample, like the ones in BGRABitmap
Tutorial wiki page, is rather confusing. The function name implies a
non-standard order.
