Well, if you've given all those option, you just need to make sure that it's
easy to define the collection of points. Because with that, everyone can
easily build his own methods. Still, the ways you've given seem to cover
everything. Maybe a macro which takes a value between 0 and 1 as input and
outputs a position.
