I'm not surprised that it can be written shorter. After all, this was my first 
attempt at writing postscript code. It's straightforward to understand (doing 
one stroke after the other, without any optimization), though.

I have now added the eyeglasses as a new internal markup command (using the 
same postscript code) and instead changed the example for \postscript to 
something else. Since the postscript code for the eyeglasses will not be user-
visible any more, I suppose we can do all optimizations that we deem useful...

I have no idea what is faster or more efficient, so I don't really have an 
opinion on this.

Cheers,
Reinhold
