 Replying to [comment:14 vbraun]:
 > `_graphics_` only handles finding the appropriate output. The actual
 generation of graphics files is dispatched elsewhere. And no global
 variables allowed.

 refactoring it into something maintainable if we have 3+ separate output
 channels.
 If your solution is to ''move'' stuff from `show` to somewhere else, I
 agree. Just don't "fix" `show` by re-inventing its functionality.

 (I have seen the following too often: X is broken. Instead of fixing X,
 somebody invents Y which is similar to X but with other bugs)
