Now that you brought the issue of names and IDs...
Although IDs seem to handle images faster than names, some plugins expect 
image names. Is there a shortcut to use IDs instead?

For instance, the image calculator expects names. Can the IDs be used in these 
cases without having to invoke getTitle(selectImage(ID)) or something like 
that? (not sure the syntax is correct, btw).
