Getting back to the fish you're trying to fry instead of one of mine, I
have a question.

This clause raises my eyebrow:

> there was no way of replicating what 'ps: import' provides.

I thought _gropdf_(1) interpreted a subset of 'ps'-tagged device
extension commands?  Let me check its man page.

...ah!  _gropdf_'s man page does _not_ claim support for 'ps: import'.

So why not start?

In other words, why not implement 'pdf: inline' _as_ 'ps: import' in
_gropdf_?
