"I had actually seen this in a thread earlier this year.  (comp.lang.ada
_is_ such good value.)  However, 'Image is one of the things that would
merit suppression:  it would be nice to export an enumeration type _as_
an enumeration type without having to provide all the names as strings.
"

Well pragma Discard_Names comes close to doing what you want. If there
is a Discard_Names pragma, then no strings need to be exported.
