If you read to the end of the thread, you'll find this is likely not
true.  Assuming that stroking happens after stretching, then even when
stretched to 0, the stroke will still produce a visible line.

We can only disable rendering at 0 if the limit rendering as the
length approaches 0 really does approach invisibility.
