No, I am saying the opposite : the <postscript> macro can *not* be redefined
because it is hardwired (it is a primitive). For any other macro (i.e., the
ones defined in the TeXmacs standard stylesheets), you can redefine them.

Yes, one cannot redefine <include>, for the very same reason
one cannot redefine <postscript>.

Are you sure you absolutely need to do this ? Would not it
be sufficient if you embed primitives inside other macros
with different names ?
