// Synopsis: Creates a shape between a circle and a square, centered on the origin.
// SynTags: Geom, Path
// Topics: Shapes (2D), Paths (2D), Path Generators, Attachable
// See Also: circle(), square()
// See Also: circle(), square(), supershape()
// Usage: As Module
// squircle(squareness, size) [ATTACHMENTS];
// Usage: As Function
// path = squircle(squareness, size);
// Description:
// A squircle is a shape intermediate between a square/rectangle and a circle/ellipse. Squircles are sometimes used to make dinner plates (more area for the same radius as a circle), keyboard buttons, and smartphone icons. Old CRT television screens also resembled squircles.
// A squircle is a shape intermediate between a square/rectangle and a circle/ellipse. A squircle is a special case of supershape (shown in `supershape()` example 3), but this implementation uses a different method that requires just two parameters, and the vertex distribution is optimized for smoothness.
// Squircles are sometimes used to make dinner plates (more area for the same radius as a circle), keyboard buttons, and smartphone icons. Old CRT television screens also resembled squircles.
// When called as a module, creates a 2D squircle with the desired squareness. Uses "intersect" type anchoring.
// When called as a function, returns a 2D path for a squircle.
// Arguments:
