This simple technique brings many advantages:
. Less weight: an image may be displayed as many times as you wish by
reference to the source that stays unique (icons in a list field for
instance).
. An image can be changed in all places it appears easily (or
modified by manipulating its imagedata).
. If you use another stack to store images (not a substack), you are
on the right way to create multiple-skins applications :-)
