MetaPost graphics can be hooked into the textbackground using the mp
and method keys. So apparently there is a way to use arbitrary
background graphics.
It would be a natural consistent interface if overlays worked with
the background key. But I assume it's due to the page break ability
of textbackground that makes it more complicated to implement.
BTW: Is there any documentation, except the source, about the mp and
method keys?
