Does pdf.setignoreunknownimages really expects a number as an argument
instead of a boolean?  Or is pdf.setignoreunknownimages(2) meaningful?

And is the substring "set" really necessary in the name?  Why not
simply pdf.ignoreunknownimages?

Sure, it's common practice in the TeX world to choose the longest name
one can imagine (like \pdfoptionpdfminorversion), choose a more
reasonable name in the next release, preserve the old stuff somehow in
order to prevent breaking existing documents, and so on.  What a mess!

Isn't it possible to use reasonable names from the beginning?

Regards,
  Reinhard
