Comment:
Need a mechanism to draw elliptical arcs. Once available this can be extended
to draw an ellipse.

1. Current methods of drawing them with beziers/quadratic curves do not work
well and are approximations.
2. Using arcto/arc followed by scaling distorts the strokestyle
3. Generating elliptical arcs by approximating lines, etc are tedious to
implement and error prone
