Both Postscript and SVG have a built-in arc function capable of drawing an arc (or an
entire circle).
Bézier 2-D curves can approximate a circle, but cannot create a mathematical exact circle
(although an approximation using 4 points is so precise that it is practically
indistinguishable from a circle)

Well I suppose it is actually postscript. So I had better look at the full
source?

Where is the code that actually draws a circle stencil? I am interested to see if it is
done with Bezier curve techniques and to study that. I could not seem to find it in the
scm area.
