Well, that's something.

Actually you can just make the number plenty large and then you don't have
to worry about changing it every time you add a new point. As the array will
be bigger it will require slightly more ressources, but nothing of
importance. The point is that you don't get an error and that it gives the
same result.

Yes...

Do you mean evenly distributed T values or evenly distributed points of the
spline. The first is very easy while the second is slightly more tricky, but
I intent to make support for both.
