I think I commented on the same thing before, but I think it'd make
more sense to put @from after @to and the prototype is using @root_kn
which is a bit confusing.  Was converting the path functions to return
length too much work?  If so, that's fine but please explain what
decisions were made.

I skimmed through the series and spotted several other review points
which didn't get addressed.  Can you please go over the previous
review cycle and address the review points?

Thanks.
