The image-metadata function can be used to retrieve the total number
of images in an image bundle. This is simmilar to how GIF files work.

- :crop is used to specify a croping area: (width height x y).  This
is similar to the slice image specification, but has a different
purpose. :crop removes the croped areas from memory, so its memory
efficient if you only need to view a certain part of the image. The
slice specification can be used to pick diferent parts of the same
image, so its more disk and display efficient.


* experimental
- :geometry takes a geometry string as defined by ImageMagick:

scale%            
scale-x%xscale-y% 
width

* TODO

- image-type-header-regexps priorities the jpeg loader over the
imagemagick one. This is not wrong, but how should a user go about
prefering the imagemagick loader? The user might like zooming etc in
jpegs.

- For some reason its unbearably slow to look at a page in a large
  image bundle using the :index feature. The imagemagick "display"
  command is also a bit slow, but nowhere near as slow as the emacs
  code. It seems imagemagick tries to unpack every page when loading
  the bundle. This feature is not the primary usecase for the
  imagemagick patch though.

- zooming the image like what is done for fonts in face-remap.el would
  be a useful and demo friendly addition.

- figure out what to do with the experimental features noted below.

it would still be better to find a way to have :splice do the same
thing.
