This is strongly influenced by the following points:

- is there interest in using the patch?
- does the syntax/usage make sense, is the solution well suited for the 
problem it is intended for?
- is the patch well written?
- is the patch sufficiently documented?
- has the patch already been tested?

Concerning your specific addition i have a few questions:

1) why is it restricted to image maps?
2) does it handle interpolation across the tile boundaries? (only makes 
sense with (1) of course, difficult with different resolution tiles)
3) why is it restricted to a regular rectangular pattern?

What would be really interesting is a dynamically cached image map (i.e. 
one that actually loads tiles on demand).  You would have to be careful 
when using the internal image reading functions for this though - they 
are not really intended to be used at render time.
