While this is true, remember that you are working with drawing tools that
only work up to 3rd-order curves. The trick is being able to draw
arbitrary-order bezier curves with the standard 3rd-order curves using
curveto or cutting the arbitrary-order bezier curves into sufficiently
small linear segments using lineto that still give the appearance of a
curved line (If I'm not mistaken, this is what SCORE does). It certainly is
_possible_ and the methods aren't terribly difficult to follow, but may
require some serious coding effort to get working as drop-in replacements.
Cool idea, though!
