In fact, '\externalfigure' in ConTeXt and 'externalfigure'
in metafun (without 'draw') can be a bit confusing, as in
\starttext
\externalfigure "hacker" scaled 5cm ;
\stoptext
Of course, no-one would ever admit to such foolishness.
maybe another name externalimage or so (as images in mp need to be drawn)
I usually prefer the more verbose:
draw textext("\externalfigure[...]") ...
which makes things conceptually clearler.
