                     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
                     30: 
                     31:           a := ["x"]
                     32:           push(a,a)
                     33:           t := table()
                     34:           push(a,t)
                     35:           t[a] := t
                     36:           t["x"] := []
                     37:           t[t] := a
                     38:           write(Image(t))
                     39: 
                     40:      which produces
                     41: 
                     42:           T1:["x"->L1:[],L2:[T1,L2,"x"]->T1,T1->L2]
                     43: 
                     44:      Note that a table is represented as a list of entry and
                     45:      assigned values separated by ---->>>>s.
                     46: 
                     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
                     52:
