Some editors/repls have a html like editor and support things like __html__() which returns an img base url encoded. So they can be seen in the repl.

Should this execute something like feh/display/eog/xdg-open/windows image viewer, or should it use SDL?

I'm not clear about what this issue is proposing Should it just be a short hand for loading and blitting images? Is it indented for use for quick debugging? Will calling this function execute a small application of its own (and will this function call block), or should the user use this along with their game loop?
