ZOO.Geometry.Curve
==================

A Curve is a MultiPoint, whose points are assumed to be connected.  To this end, 
we provide a "getLength()" function, which iterates through the points, summing the 
distances between them.

componentTypes  
  ``{Array(String)}`` An array of class names representing the types of components that the 
  collection can include.  A null value means the component types are not restricted.
