        !            16:      The procedure IIIImmmmaaaaggggeeee((((xxxx)))) produces a string image of the value
        !            17:      xxxx. The value produced is a generalization of the value pro-
        !            18:      duced by the Icon function iiiimmmmaaaaggggeeee((((xxxx)))), providing detailed
        !            19:      information about structures.
        !            20: 
        !            21:      Tags are used to uniquely identify structures. A tag con-
        !            22:      sists of a letter identifying the type followed by an
        !            23:      integer. The tag letters are LLLL for lists, RRRR for records, and
        !            24:      TTTT for tables. The first time a structure is encountered, it
        !            25:      is imaged as the tag followed by a colon, followed by a
        !            26:      representation of the structure. If the same structure is
        !            27:      encountered again, only the tag is given.
        !            28: 
        !            29:      An example is

        !            47:      The procedure IIIImmmmaaaaggggeeeexxxx((((xxxx)))) is similar to IIIImmmmaaaaggggeeee((((xxxx)))), except that
        !            48:      newlines and spaces are inserted to that the printed result
        !            49:      is displayed on multiple lines with indentation. There are
        !            50:      other formatting details that differ between the two pro-
        !            51:      cedures.  For the example given above, the result of
