/// A control point that uses such an interpolation is associated with an extra point. The segmant
/// connecting both is called the _tangent_ of this point. The part of the spline defined between
/// this control point and the next one will be interpolated across with Bézier interpolation. Two
/// cases are possible:
///
/// - The next control point also has a Bézier interpolation mode. In this case, its tangent is
/// used for the interpolation process. This is called _cubic Bézier interpolation_ and it
/// kicks ass.
/// - The next control point doesn’t have a Bézier interpolation mode set. In this case, the
/// tangent used for the next control point is defined as the segment connecting that control
/// point and the current control point’s associated point. This is called _quadratic Bézer
/// interpolation_ and it kicks ass too, but a bit less than cubic.

/// A special Bézier interpolation using an _input tangent_ and an _output tangent_.
///
/// With this kind of interpolation, a control point has an input tangent, which has the same role
/// as the one defined by [`Interpolation::Bezier`], and an output tangent, which has the same
/// role defined by the next key’s [`Interpolation::Bezier`] if present, normally.
///
/// What it means is that instead of setting the output tangent as the next key’s Bézier tangent,
/// this interpolation mode allows you to manually set the output tangent. That will yield more
/// control on the tangents but might generate discontinuities. Use with care.
///
/// Stroke Bézier interpolation is always a cubic Bézier interpolation by default.
