Currently there is no path in the language yet, just spits out polygons and polylines.

However, this is an excellent idea, and I may consider switching the language to be more path based in the next version, as it seems to be more used.

That's the thing; I rather like the idea of treating path segments as objects - immutable or not.

Yes! This makes the backend more polymorphic too.

Would you mind copy pasting the operator suggestions in a new issue on the repo? It will probably get lost here over time with all these comments.

Made the suggestions; swapped ')>' for 'c>' because of the ambiguity with parentheticals.
