Shrinkwrap, but for curves? (more robust but less accurate _offsetcurve?)

Hi,

I’ve been poking around in offset quite a bit lately to help return multiple curves when an offset curve intersects itself. Here’s the specific issue. I’m hoping to have it turned on in the WIP here soon.

Ex_1

The results are a bit more dramatic with OffsetMultiple

Ex_3

Ex_2

These changes should ripple out through the rest of Rhino that rely on offsetting a curve. This would also include curve offsets in Grasshopper but I haven’t checked yet.

What other problems are you having with curve offsets? I know polyline offsets can sometimes be a little strange (I’m hoping to also take a stab at this in the near future).
