Ah, but Ada 2012.5 :-) will have Object'Image as a language-defined 
attribute. AI12-0124-1 was approved for inclusion in the upcoming 
Corrigendum at the recent Portland ARG meeting.

This is a case where we (the ARG) decided that including existing practice 
in the Standard made sense. (Note that we used 'Image for this purpose; 
AdaCore couldn't do that because extending language-defined attributes is 
prohibited, but the ARG has no such problems.)
