If no-current-point makes it act like the current point is 0,0, then 
that should be in user space. The reason is that the constructed path 
can be transformed to a new CTM and get the same result as if you 
switched to that CTM and then constructed the path. This seems more 
consistent.

However this conflicts with my proposal in the last email, where I 
wanted it to use whatever point it was at before. This point cannot be 
moved by changing the CTM (because it should match the behavior whether 
or not the have-current-point flag is on or off). So the initial 
position is in device space.
