% This sub-module covers more-or-less the same ideas as
% \texttt{pgfcorepathconstruct.code.tex}, though using the expandable FPU
% means that the implementation often varies. At present, equivalents of the
% following are currently absent:
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item \cs{pgfpatharcto}, \cs{pgfpatharctoprecomputed}: These are
%     extremely specialized and are very complex in implementation. If the
%     functionality is required, it is likely that it will be set up from
%     scratch here.
%   \item \cs{pgfpathparabola}: Seems to be unused other than defining
%     a Ti\emph{k}Z interface, which itself is then not used further.
%   \item \cs{pgfpathsine}, \cs{pgfpathcosine}: Need to see exactly how
%     these need to work, in particular whether a wider input range is
%     needed and what approximation to make.
%    \item \cs{pgfpathcurvebetweentime}, \cs{pgfpathcurvebetweentimecontinue}:
%      These don't seem to be used at all.
