Re: [svgwg] Add circular arc path command 'R'. (#767)

Yeah, but there's a lot of usefulness to on-curve points. You're going to need 3 points to define a circular arc regardless, even if one of those points isn't on the arc. So you might as well go with a pretty easy way of writing those. You often be able to know sort of where you want the arc to go and can give a point around the right area. They are also pretty intuitive.

You want to arc from here to here, all you need to give me then is a single extra point that also exists in your arc. That's not a hard thing to provide. I was able to pretty easily and robustly draw them by simply writing the paths. And it makes things like, I want a circle between these two points pretty easy to do, without needing to use the actual circle svg code there.
