i currently use sometxt() instead (was label because of much better
runtime in mkii). i guess it's one of the last places where i use text
inside mp, so it doesn't hurt that much. mh, maybe i should extract the
outlines (it's only one char) instead.

nope. the argument is a formal macro description with parameters in
braces and brackets. it's part of the testbed for my graphic macros.
