Sure thing!  When make-path-stencil arrives in the stable version things
will be much simpler, as I can't think of a reason to use any of the other
methods instead of it.  It doesn't require a grob (as with
grob-interpret-markup), it doesn't require manually specifying the X and Y
extents, and the path can be disconnected / discontinuous.

(It might even be worth deprecating and removing make-connected-path-stencil
at some point, maybe in 2.22, that way 2.20 would have both
make-path-stencil and make-connected-path-stencil for an easy transition for
anyone using these.)

z and Z are both equivalent to closepath.  This follows the SVG convention
where both z and Z are included.

Just for completeness sake, make-path-stencil works with either kind of
commands, the more verbose or the single letters:

moveto, rmoveto, lineto, rlineto, curveto, rcurveto, closepath

M, m, L, l, C, c, Z, z
