Ditto!  With David Park, I often find awkward the built-in graphics
paradigm that requires an Epilog, Prolog, or other circumlocution in
order to combine graphics with a Plot, etc.  It would obviously be
inadvisable to replace outright that built-in structure with the
structure provided by Park's Presentations package.  But it would be
nice to have the latter available in the kernel as an alternative -- or
at the very least as a package shipped with Mathematica.
