Is there a way to save (and later restore) currentpoint and the
CTM, so that after restoring, you can resume adding to the path
as if no moves or rotations had happened since you saved ?

Rather not use gsave/grestore because
1. it saves and restores more things than I want, such as the path,
2. it is saved on the stack and I would prefer a dictionary of
   arrays or something like that which would give me the freedom
   of saving multiple times and restoring in any order without
   burdening my feeble brain.

Thanks in advance.
