hm, this will unnecessarry overload \pdfliteral with keywords (i use lots
of such literals and don't want a slower pdftex), so why not use
\pdfcolorliteral
Also, there is less change in compatibility problems (i have no plans to
use color literals in context) or of potential clashes.
Actually, it would be better to let pdftex handle this by means of
interpreting \specials (there is already such handling and it would conform
dvi/pdfm); esp since the content is not literal (in th esense that it is
parsed content).
