Greetings.  OK; so we have show and kshow...
  (a string) show
  { -2 0 rmoveto } (a string) kshow

and we have charpath ...
  gsave (a string) true charpath clip do_something_colourful grestore

but I haven't spotted its kerning equivalent :-(
  gsave { -2 0 rmoveto } (a string) true kcharpath
  clip do_something_colourful grestore

Is there another way to do this, like using cshow or something ?
Should I write kcharpath myself, looping along the string with `get`
and `charpath` and invoking proc ?  Has it been written already ?

Thanks, regards,
Peter

P.S. hope I got the code right ...
