Hey Janek,

I'm certainly not against adding comments, but I think that when the code does 
a good job of explaining stuff via variable names, comments can clutter what's 
going on.  For example, dz_unit to me sounds like a unit vector (which it is), 
dz_perp is the vector perpendicular to this, and curve_xext is the extent of 
the curve from attachment point to attachment point.  This could potentially be 
the subject of a future GOP, but I am of the opinion that if code is easy to 
read because of good variable naming, it is not necessary to add more comments.

Cheers,
MS
