-- «Picture» (to ".Picture")
-- We can ":put" things one by one into a Picture object, and ":totex"
-- will generate a "\begin{picture}...\end{picture}" LaTeX block with
-- the right size and offset. Also, ":toascii" generates an ascii
-- rendering of that picture object, great for debugging and stuff.
