|Bind cuases problems if a document that includes a definition such as
| /p /show load def

| /test { /p exch def p show } bind def % [1]

The graphics file that does [1] is in error. The bind isn't what
causes the problem, it's the programmer that doesn't know how bind
works. Should I complain that show is a bad operator because it
can't be used to calculate logarithms?
