Yes, fine with me, but my ramblings doesn't matter unless devs are 
willing to accept the ideas and possible patches.

Do you people like the idea of the choises below:

a, in H path, 0 width will not be default, instead it will be zero

b, a new path thing, with the above width semantics

c, do nothing

The idea is to be able to do filled paths with easily defined corner
positions, and which can be easily scaled [1] to different sizes ?
