[Cuis-dev] Fix for VectorCanvas>>#image:at:

[Luciano Notarfrancesco]

Great, thank you.
I removed the double quotes from printIt (see attached method) and have
been using it like that for two days, seems to work fine, shout doesn't get
confused. IMO without the double quotes the output looks cleaner, but it's
up to you how you want it in the core image.
Cheers,
Luciano
