The default behavior with a LinePlacement is to put the text tangent to the
line, at this point we don't need the line anymore, we already have the
direction.
With followLine we actually follow the line shape, curving along it, so we
need a line to follow, if it's not long enough, we cannot place the label.
As an improvement, we could simply expand the line along the tangent to its
begin and end segments, but we don't have the code to do that right now.
Not even sure it's desirable, if a line is too short to contain its name,
better leave it not labelled imho, otherwise we might end up having
super-small
lines being drawn and their label sucking a lot of space and preventing
longer lines to be labelled (the moment we go out of the line the chance of
collisions increases a lot)
