Hmph.  Since most of my PostScript programming has been relatively small (but
not trivial), I have not been worrying about memory management issues.  It's
such a fun little language, even without the grafix ops!  Seeing your light, I
realize that this is probably the biggest drawback in the language.  The
dynamic lookup I can live with.  This?  Maybe not...
