Exact coversion bezier_spline => cubic_spline
or bezier_spline => natural_spline
is not possible in general case,
only other way conversion
cubic_spline => bezier_spline,
natural_spline => bezier_spline
would be always valid. See example in p.t.s-f.

Unfortunately, among (official) POV-Ray SDL spline types
there are no "general cubic" spline type (yet?),
like. for example, bezier_spline,
the one that any other cubic spline
could be converted to precisely.
