 Functions to compute a Path's size
 ----------------------------------

 Various functions were added to `~.bezier.BezierSegment` and `~.path.Path` to
 allow computation of the shape, size and area of a `~.path.Path` and its
 composite Bezier curves.

 In addition to the fixes below, `~.bezier.BezierSegment` has gained more
 documentation and usability improvements, including properties that contain its
 dimension, degree, control_points, and more.

 Better interface for Path segment iteration
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 `~.path.Path.iter_bezier` iterates through the `~.bezier.BezierSegment`'s that
 make up the Path. This is much more useful typically than the existing
 `~.path.Path.iter_segments` function, which returns the absolute minimum amount
 of information possible to reconstruct the Path.

 Fixed bug that computed a Path's Bbox incorrectly
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Historically, `~.path.Path.get_extents` has always simply returned the Bbox of
 a curve's control points, instead of the Bbox of the curve itself. While this is
 a correct upper bound for the path's extents, it can differ dramatically from
 the Path's actual extents for non-linear Bezier curves.

 Path area
 ~~~~~~~~~

 A `~.path.Path.signed_area` method was added to compute the signed filled area
 of a Path object analytically (i.e. without integration). This should be useful
 for constructing Paths of a desired area.
