That was done in the recently approved Corrigendum (other than that we 
called it "'Image"; the only reason GNAT called it "'Img" is that 
changing/extending language-defined attributes is not allowed).

We've tried that (and the topic is still open, AI12-0020-1), but it quickly 
runs into a host of little problems (what do to with access components? 
How/whether to make a matching 'Value? What about private components? Etc.) 
I wouldn't count on seeing that ever happen.
