It tells a program that it will never be able to allocate more colors than what the function returns. The difference to the current behavior is that the program might not even be able to allocate as much colors, depending on how tgi_alloccolor is called. Assume a monochrome driver, where tgi_getcolorcount returns 2. So the program knows that, would allocate black and white, accept that the driver might approximate and use the returned colors. The result might not be perfect, but will probably be acceptable.
