I think the method is only in there to parallel NXBitmapImageRep.
TIFF files can contain multiple images to accommodate different
frame buffers.  It doesn't make sense for PostScript.  (I could
see it looking for %%BeginFile: ... %%EndFile pairs, but I don't
understand *why* it would be worthwhile.)  [I don't believe it;
NeXT includes the EPSF spec in _Supplemental Documentation_, but
omits Document Structuring Conventions?  How useless!  Time to
dig out the 0.9 tech docs, sigh.]
