Re: [svgwg] Relax SVG Path grammar with an implicite first MoveTo command (#780)

I'd tend to agree with @dalboris here - to achieve this you'd likely end up trading one special-case for another. Assume for example, that to avoid the situation described above, you say to only emit the implicit moveto command when the first command isn't `m` or `M`, then you'd still need to have a special-case for the first command.
It may well be that having an implicit moveto happens to line up well with some other API that you intend on feeding the commands to and thus it appears to be "really simple", but then something else is (implicitly) handling that special-case (as an example the `<canvas>` API does this).
