 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. :crop works well, but
-it would still be better to find a way to have :splice do the same
-thing.

-:geometry and :crop with a string argument, are both particular to
-ImageMagick, whereas the lisp interface is more general. Currently it
-seems like the lisp interface is good enough, so the string argument
-interface will probably be removed.
