Since this needs touching pdf metatable anyway, two thoughts for your consideration. 1. New pdf table fields (pdf.pdftrailer, pdf.pdfinfo, pdf.pdfcatalog, pdf.pdfnames) actually do nothing more but assign internal toks lists. As we know, their pdftex equivalents weren't generic toks lists, but perhaps they should for interface consistency? And perhaps they should live in the same place as pdfpageattr and companion? 2. Fontmap-related write-only fields (pdf.mapline, pdf.mapfile) could actually be static functions pdf.mapline "+font Font ..." pdf.mapfile "pdftex.map" as there is no advantage of having them dynamic. Then one can local them local mapline = pdf.mapline avoiding unnecessary overhead of metacall on every access to pdf table. |

Writing to and reading from the pdf table is restored in #3290. Those other points are not bad, but need a bit more thinking. |
