I like LPE! A lot!
Cusps like these are a delight in typography and graphic work and usually have to be outlined by hand. On the other hand, I understand Rob, too, since these cusps 'cheat a little' to provide a nice optical effect and might not resonate in technical applications. Is it possible to have both?
... Looking at the nice explanation you submitted, the mirror axis is perpendicular to the tangent, right? How would mirroring come out on the middle point on a curve like this: { (a curly brace)? (I am imagining something, and think it would look very lovely, and provide unique miter, but I might be wrong, as usual)
My explanation of how it works is not quite the way it works... The curly brace curve will appear with a beveled cusp.
I just committed the SVG miter cusp type. I've named the smoother cusp type: "Extrapolated", as it extrapolates the curve to obtain the cusp shape.
