I think that using 'path would be the better option, also the circles and semicircle will be a little tricky to code. > So I'd like to propose that we have the task of changing \eyeglasses from > make-postscript-markup to 'path be a Frog task. To make everything easier, we should probably add a new markup command, \path, so that we can use `make-path-markup' when redefining \eyeglasses.
