If we could implement this in a central location, like defusing
find-image somehow, that seems possible. I wouldn't be surprised if
having `find-image' suddenly not find any images would break things,
though. And the other approach -- locating all `find-image' call sites
inside and outside of Emacs and conditionalizing them -- seems like an
impractical amount of work...
