Default gimp and ICC color working spaces

gimp has 2 use cases

1) monitor proofing
2) print proofing

yet it only has RGB and CMYK choices for working spaces

I don't know if Photoshop or other software has a CIE colorimetric
choice for working space, but in order to measure and track color it
would be a lot easier to have one

I know there are issues like gamut differences and rendering intents

but if you want to measure the colorimetry of the monitor or proof and
match it to the print, you need to start with CIE, not RGB or CMYK,
ideally CIECAM but ICC has not gone there yet as far as I know
