Yeah, if anything we'd want the opposite, merging short lines into longer arcs. This would best be done as a preprocessing step, though. The problem I can see with more advanced "Naive CAM" processing is that you might get inconsistent results if your G code is borderline. Some segments would be joined, while others wouldn't, and it the result would be apparently inconsistent behavior that would confuse users. I think this is why NURBS is attractive, since we can just reinterpret everything.
