i. This is not a huge deal, as it seems to be manageable
just as you say.
ii. However, as I add to a script to illustrate more
issues, which should come later in a presentation,
this implies renumbering all the figures. Not ideal.
iii. So it seems the opposite of the current convention
would be an improvement: show figure 1 last, so that it
is "on top" in a presentation. This would be my first
preference.
iv. Or, could show take an argument---a tuple of
numbers determining the order for the figures to appear.
This would be my 2nd preference.
