[bunch of special_purpose "show" commands]

Interesting. They don't leave the current point in the right place, though,
so they're not quite dropins for show.

I'm considering a "styleshow" that takes a style and modifies the text
according to the bits in the style:

	1	obliqued
	2	stroked
	4	boxed
	8	underlined
	16	inverted

Anyone have a version of this already?
