/** @brief Sequence of contiguous curves, aka spline.
 *
 * Path represents a sequence of contiguous curves, also known as a spline.
 * It corresponds to a "subpath" in SVG terminology. It can represent both
 * open and closed subpaths. The final point of each curve is exactly
 * equal to the initial point of the next curve.
 *
 * The path always contains a linear closing segment that connects
 * the final point of the last "real" curve to the initial point of the
 * first curve. This way the curves form a closed loop even for open paths.
 * If the closing segment has nonzero length and the path is closed, it is
 * considered a normal part of the path data. There are three distinct sets
 * of end iterators one can use to iterate over the segments:
 *
 * - Iterating between @a begin() and @a end() will iterate over segments
 *   which are part of the path.
 * - Iterating between @a begin() and @a end_closed()
 *   will always iterate over a closed loop of segments.
 * - Iterating between @a begin() and @a end_open() will always skip
 *   the final linear closing segment.
 *
 * If the final point of the last "real" segment coincides exactly with the initial
 * point of the first segment, the closing segment will be absent from both
 * [begin(), end_open()) and [begin(), end_closed()).
 *
 * Normally, an exception will be thrown when you try to insert a curve
 * that makes the path non-continuous. If you are working with unsanitized
 * curve data, you can call setStitching(true), which will insert line segments
 * to make the path continuous.
 *
 * Internally, Path uses copy-on-write data. This is done for two reasons: first,
 * copying a Curve requires calling a virtual function, so it's a little more expensive
 * that normal copying; and second, it reduces the memory cost of copying the path.
 * Therefore you can return Path and PathVector from functions without worrying
 * about temporary copies.
 *
 * Note that this class cannot represent arbitrary shapes, which may contain holes.
 * To do that, use PathVector, which is more generic.
 *
 * It's not very convenient to create a Path directly. To construct paths more easily,
 * use PathBuilder.
