Use words instead of symbols #584

Replace image and image with words ("continuous" and "discrete"?).

You can't search for symbols to see what properties use which type, and the meaning isn't clear from the symbol.

Why introduce "continuous" and "discrete" into the mix when there's already "interpolated" and "piecewise-constant"? My head is being tied into knots by the number of "function types" ༼ ºººººل͟ººººº ༽

Yeah, when I wrote that I forgot that we already had the terms "interpolated" and "piecewise-constant". We should be consistent and use one set or the other everywhere.

I have a proposal brewing to rationalize the current set of function types into something more understandable. Stay tuned.
