not really, for that we need mp as a library (we did experiments with
simulating that but it's kind of tricky)
concerning lua ... i do have a mkiv file on my machine that uses lua to parse
the mp output (precursor to mp natively spitting out such code); currently its
a bit slower (two step conversion ps -> lua -> tex) but when using many pen
shapes its faster because then we don't need the tex based concat code; also,
less (and cleaner) code is needed for parsing
