Nope.
BTW, I just gave an example of a list of length 4. The class
itself can accept a list of arbitrary length as an argument.
True enough, I am not fully confident that I have a full handle
on what will create duplicate curves in all cases.
But I believe I am correct that for the function as
written only list == list.reverse() will create duplicate curves.
