Ok, the only reason I left this path unscathed was so that I had
something to fallback to... However the change in spline handling does
improve several test and perf results. Let's look for opportunities to
refactor the common code as we do so. (Can be done afterwards, so that
we have correct code first, then correct smaller code.)

Hmm, can you do this as a separate patch. Preferably with another to try
and fix the current code before replacing it. As you should be able to
avoid the division to check the intersection against [0,1] so I want a
closer look at what you consider the bug to be.
