But that is pretty much what I meant with "more generic code".

Ok. I just did not like the very specific usage - but that was mainly a
question of taste.

I mainly saw the problem that we need to also include all resources used
in EPS files we include ourselves. This requires parsing the DSC of
those files to some degree. At the time when I wrote the PS output code,
this seemed some way to go and that's why I only marked the omission of
the corresponding DSCs in a comment.
