The (undocumented) getbbox operator has the following syntax:

	object bool GETBBOX => x y x' y'

where 'object' may be a string or a canvas.  It will return the bounding
box of the object in one of two forms:  If 'bool' is true, the result is
a "rect" (i.e., x' and y' are width and height, respectively), else, the
result is a "bbox" (i.e., x' and y' are the corners of the upper-right
corner, like in the 'pathbbox' operator).
