Description of problem:

As a results of experiments with a facility described in "PostScript to Asymptote" chapter of asymptote manual, and using venn.eps example as described there, I was getting an asymptote code which, when fed back to asymptote, generated complaints like that:

test.asy: 27.10: call of function 'beginclip(guide)' is ambiguous

Only after appending ', false, currentpen, true' to call arguments to get a signature of a function defined in runtime.cc from asymptote sources that code was accepted without any complaints.  (BTW - the second pair of beginclip .. endclip is not really needed in that example).

A simpler way out appear to be to comment out beginclip and endclip definitions in /usr/share/asymptote/pstoedit.asy.  With that everything worked as expected when I tried without any changes in a pstoedit generated code.  Just dropping the whole 'import pstoedit;' is not an option as this causes "cannot call 'void gsave(frame f)' without parameters" complaints.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
asymptote-1.60-1.fc11

How reproducible:
as described above

Additional info:
It did not matter if I patched or not pstoedit following "PostScript to Asymptote" chapter of asymptote manual.  Actually results looked the same before and after but maybe differences will show up in some other examples?
