I don't see why not.  Alternatively, the nan testing could be done in
"drawone".   I was planning on filtering the path in chunks (eg 100
verts at a time) through drawone using map or listcomps, which should
be faster and will not violate the max path size of some postscript
interpreters.  But I didn't get that far when my wife made me go to
bed.  So if you want to pick up where I left off, feel free.
