You can extend it to NURBS without breaking tools ;) Think about the 
control point approximation ;) So every embedded device that isn't fast 
or doesn't have a fpu will use the ugly linear version, while any other 
tool will use the weight associated with the line thus has a pretty 
version of it all.
