"draw externalfigure"
I'm still not sure about that one ... compatibility vs clean
I rather like the new syntax - indeed much cleaner.
(However, for compatibility issues, it might be nice to
somehow program a better error message, if possible,
so that 'externalfigure "hacker.jpg";' more elegantly fails.)
pretty hard in metapost
In fact, '\externalfigure' in ConTeXt and 'externalfigure'
in metafun (without 'draw') can be a bit confusing, as in
\starttext
\externalfigure "hacker" scaled 5cm ;
\stoptext
Of course, no-one would ever admit to such foolishness.
maybe another name externalimage or so (as images in mp need to be drawn)
