Again, glad to be proven wrong. But /if/ the iso file system image
is lying around as a file in a mounted file system, I don't see a
way around a loop device to actually mount it.

Different, of course from the case where it's on a medium (stick,
partition, you name it) which already appears as a device.

This would work for a "real" CDROM, for a dedicated disk partition,
for an USB stick (or a partition therein).

For an image file, the missing link, AFAIK, is a loopback device,
which you seem to dislike (I don't know yet why).
