but graphic inclusion was never part of tex and always provides by wrappers 
that map onto primitives or specials, e.g. in context it would be:

   \externalfigure[whatever.pic]

and i'd internally handle the xtex driver handle it (once i've made such a 
driver); i fear that for advance pdf i have to fall back on pdfmarks (sigh, 
i was happily rid of them).
