    If someone has the time, it seems it migt be worth it to do something along
    the following lines:

    - add `loadtime' timestamp to the image data-structure so that staleness can
      be detected and a `refresh' function in the image_type data structure
      which, given the `loadtime' image `spec' says whether to reload or not.
    - provide a new function (image-refresh IMAGE-SPEC).
    - make create-image (used by image-toggle-display and others) use that
      new function.

Would someone please add that to etc/TODO?
