Re: Line caps for moveto-movetp path segments(?)

Why, you ask? Under some circumstances, it will be faster to draw a set of
small circles (like a scatter plot) using move-move-move-... with round
linecaps, compared to drawing lots of small circles explicitly.
Unfortunately this is not the case in Chromium/Blink, but it might be in
the future.
