Now _I_ am confused.  I thought the "image-mode-" prefix was for
namespace reasons, because the symbols are defined in a package named
"image-mode".  I thought this was our rule: to request such prefixes
based on the package name.

But now you seem to say that this rule is bendable under some
(unspecified) conditions?  Please help me understand what are those
conditions, and what exactly are the rules.
