***Brilliant***: if we want a subcurve from `t = 0` to `t = z`, we can keep the first coordinate the same (which makes sense), our control point becomes a z-ratio mixture of the original control point and the start point, and the new end point is a mixture that looks oddly similar to a bernstein polynomial of degree two, except it uses (z-1) rather than (1-z)... These new coordinates are actually really easy to compute directly!

These new coordinates are actually really easy to compute directly!
Of course, that's only one of the two curves. Getting the section from `t = z` to `t = 1` requires doing this again. We first observe what we just did is actually evaluate the general interval [0,`z`], which we wrote down simplified becuase of that zero, but we actually evaluated this:
