It's actually worse than this.  Imagine a program that moves the
cutter into a concave corner, and then moves up and down a hundred
times, then continues to the next corner.  To figure out where to stop
on the first move, you have to look ahead past the hundred up and
down moves.

At first I thought "well, just don't allow that kind of motion in a
concave corner" but you don't even know if it's concave until you do
the lookahead.
