[Inkscape-devel] Shortest way to close a PathVector?

Is there a simple method in Inkscape to close the path (or all paths) in a PathVector - without messing up any paths which are already closed?

This came up in the context of a modified sp-livarot.cpp, where an Inkscape PathVector that was "open" (for instance, a "V" shape) could still be filled, whereas the same path passed into a (modified) sp-livarot.cpp function could not manipulated, apparently because the livarot routines only define boolean operations on closed areas.

Thanks,
