At the risk of replying to myself I think that such a program would need to
check arcs and for erroneous ones in IJ format it could suggest solutions
that move the center point keeping either the start or end radius (user's
choice) or furnish the minimum radius value that will connect the start and
end points for commands in the R format. I doubt anyone wants to change the
start or end points, and if they do, the number of correct answers is
infinite! (I suppose one solution would be to propose solutions for moving
these points along an imaginary line that connects them, or only in one axis,
but the utility of this in the real world is questionable)
