;;; Commentary:

;; Defines a file-name-handler hook that transforms visited (or
;; inserted) image files so that they are displayed by Emacs as
;; images.  This is done by putting a `display' text-property on the
;; image data, with the image-data still present underneath; if the
;; resulting buffer file is saved to another name it will correctly save
;; the image data to the new file.
