The behaviour of G3DBezier is probably not correct, you are right.

I assume it does take the wrong one (isEqual:) and thus fails when you 
change a controlpoint... But on the other hand I don't want to override 
isEqual: on the vector/tuple. So I think we should fix G3DBezier's 
implementation directly.

Anyone?
