Description:
Please add another section to the image man page:

   [start of text]
Additional image commands
--------------------------
Additional opearations (e.g. configure, read, write)
may be available for different image types. See the
respective manual entries (bitmap, photo) for more
information.
   [end of text]

Rational: Could well be, this seems obvious to anybody
familiar with the (internal) structure of Tk's handling
of images:
- top level: [image] command
- inermediate: type handler (e.g. photo)
- low-level: specific formats (e.g. gif) in the Img
extension

Not being familiar with it, I spent a lot of time
searching at the top (image) and the bottom (Img::gif)
for information on how to save an image to file. The
proposed addition might help the next guy save some time.

Best regards
Helmut Giese
