That is for when you use the equivalent of 'image create bitmap ...', 
which is not the same as the C DefineBitmap call.  'image create bitmap 
...' is for use wherever you would find -image as an option, and does 
result in creating a command.  DefineBitmap creates bitmmaps in a 
hashtable recognized by -bitmap option, which is used in older parts of 
Tk (those closer tied to X11).
