I've only ever used kshow for stupid tricks like color-changing
letters and stair-step effects. I know I'm not using it 
properly because my proc always begins `pop pop`.

So what does "properly" look like?

My only thought (so far) is to encode the two chars so the
table can use a single key for pairs. That might look sthg like

/pair {256 mul add} def
/pairs <<
    (l) 0 get (l) 0 get pair some-number
    (l) 0 get (i) 0 get pair some-other-number-or-the-same-maybe
>> def

50 100 moveto
(lullali-lililullulalala) {
    pair pairs exch 2 copy known {
        get 0 rmoveto
    }{
        pop pop
    } ifelse
} kshow

It's got to be scaled with the fontsize, right?
And probably tuned to a specific face, right?
