It's tempting to redefine "moveto" to "m" for reasons of size and
speed, but when distributing such tools, it's worthwhile to keep
keywords completely undefined so that you can more easily follow
the code, and so that you don't end up with a core of dozens or
hundreds of defs (some interlocking) that you need to make the
tools work. Think of these tools as prototyping tools -- you'll
probably merge them together and work on speed and size enhancements
once you have it all working.
