The ConTeXt figure inclusion mechanisms are among the oldest code
in ConTeXt and evolved into a complex whole. One reason is that we
deal with backend in an abstract way. What complicates matters is
that we deal with internal graphics as well: TeX code, MetaPost code,
etc. Later on figure databases were introduced, which resulted in
a plug in model for locating images. On top of that runs a conversion
mechanism (with caching) and resource logging.

Porting that to Lua is not that trivial because quite some
status information is kept between al these stages. Of course, image
reuse also has some price, and so I decided to implement the graphics
inclusion in several layers: detection, loading, inclusion, etc.

Object sharing and scaling can happen at each stage, depending on the
way the resource is dealt with.

The TeX-Lua mix is suboptimal. This has to do with the fact that we cannot
run TeX code from within Lua. Some more functionality will move to Lua.
