I'm puzzled about two things in the operation of the PostScript
'bind' operator.
1) The Red Book seems to imply that bind will affect the top level of
a procedure even if the procedure is read-only or execute-only, but
not interior read- or execute-only procedures. Is this really the
case?
2) Does bind affect packed arrays? If not, packed arrays are of
substantially less value for the thing I would have thought they
would be ideal for, namely, procedures.
I would welcome enlightenment on this obscure subject.
