          Approximates any Arc segments in the Path with lines
          approximately `chord_length` long, and returns the area enclosed
          by the approximated Path.  Default chord length is 0.01.  If Arc
          segments are included in path, to ensure accurate results, make
          sure this `chord_length` is set to a reasonable value (e.g. by
          checking curvature).
                  
          Notes
          -----
          * Negative area results from clockwise (as opposed to
          counter-clockwise) parameterization of the input Path.

          ---------------
          This is one of many parts of `svgpathtools` that could be 
          improved by a noble soul implementing a piecewise-linear 
          approximation scheme for paths (one with controls to guarantee a
          desired accuracy).
