That is correct.  In path.so, there are some functions that are explicitly
called to do any cleanup and simplification on the paths.  We would have to
do some work to allow for user-defined functions.  I once considered doing
this back in the beginning of summer to address some contouring "bugs" I
encountered, but found other, more simple solutions.
