-- This version is different from previous in the sense that we no longer store
-- contours but keep points and contours (endpoints) separate for a while
-- because later on we need to apply deltas and that is easier on a list of
-- points.

-- The code is a bit messy. I looked at the ff code but it's messy too. It has
-- to do with the fact that we need to look at points on the curve and control
-- points in between. This also means that we start at point 2 and have to look
-- at point 1 when we're at the end. We still use a ps like storage with the
-- operator last in an entry. It's typical code that evolves stepwise till a
-- point of no comprehension.

-- For deltas we need a rather complex loop over points that can have holes and
-- be less than nofpoints and even can have duplicates and also the x and y value
-- lists can be shorter than etc. I need fonts in order to complete this simply
-- because I need to visualize in order to understand (what the standard tries
-- to explain).

-- 0 point then none applied
-- 1 points then applied to all
-- otherwise inferred deltas using nearest
--    if no lower point then use highest referenced point
--    if no higher point then use lowest referenced point
--    factor = (target-left)/(right-left)
--    delta  = (1-factor)*left + factor * right
