I agree. It is not just to save keystrokes, it is to simplify work.
And no-one here uses a debugger, so examining log-files is 
the way to find errors (around here anyway).
Debugging does not help when you wan't to examine why something happend or did not happen at a running site.

Logfiles do. If they contain the correct amount of logging.

'Img or 'Image would encourage more people to log stuff they perhaps do
not know that they need to log. 
And it is a pain if you want to log a record, with many separate types,
where the types are defined in several separate files.

Varible'img or Varaible'Image would make life easier for me
