I happily fold for the decision of the WG.
Of course it's easier to introduce more features in to_string()
than it will ever be possible to do with 'IMAGE. But the current
limitations of several of the attributes is very annoying, and
very simple extensions of the mechanisms would be very helpful.
Being able to take 'IMAGE of a scalar variable/signal/constant
is one of these. I agree that 'IMAGE of composite types is more
difficult to define in a useful and consistent way.
And unfortunately, as everyone else, I'm too busy
making a living to have time to volunteer...
Regards,
Jonas
