Maybe commands along the line of metapost (so that everything is easier to remeber) \startreusablePGFgraphic \startusablePGFgraphic \startPGFcode \startstaticPGFfigure ;) and \usePGFgraphic, \reusePGFgraphic, etc. For proper integration, there should also be a mechanism to pass \overlayheight and \overlaywidth to the pgfpicture, so that the pgfpicture can use it. I am just curious, does everyone use pgf for standalone graphic or has someone also tried to use it with \framed[background=...], which works for the most simple cases.
