[ITK] [ITK-users] Setting constants in ternary functor filters

Hi Jameson,

The TernaryFunctorImageFilter was designed to work on three input
images.  For this case, it would be better to inherit from
UnaryFunctorImageFilter, then set the constants on the functor.  See,
for example, the itk::ExpNegativeImageFilter [1], which also has a
constant input.

HTH,
Matt
