Description:

When a tree of graphical components is saved to disk (translated to ASCII), it is possible to enable the output of common composite-graphics as 'pic' records, to allow for compression of replicated composite-graphics within a single document. When reading these documents back in, the istream constructor of OverlayIdrawComp (and other top-level components) uses this mixin to manage a table of pics, building it up as each 'pic' record is read, and accessing entries for each ":pics id" field found in subsequent records.
