dotCooCoo 23da2fe461 Part of #3187: a gradient mesh made from an ellipse keeps its shape
Create Gradient Mesh and a Mesh tool click estimated each border edge's
handles from the surface's derivatives, so the mesh's border cut across a
curved outline: a 1x1 mesh over a 400 x 300 pt ellipse came out up to
7 pt off it, with corners at its four mesh points. Each border edge now
takes the handles of the cubic that best fits the outline between its
points, and handles where two border edges meet along a side stay
collinear.

Deleting a mesh line (Alt-click with the Mesh tool) joined the two edges
on either side with a straight line, which turned the ellipse's border
into a diamond. The joined edge now keeps the outer handles, grown back
to the length they had before the line split the edge.
