The points are on a square grid with integer X,Y.  4 points are used in each
3x3 block.  In general a point is used if
    X%3==1 or Y%3==1 but not both
    which means
    ((X%3)+(Y%3)) % 2 == 1
The X axis N=0,3,12,15,48,etc are all the integers which use only digits 0
and 3 in base 4.  For example N=51 is 303 base4.  Or equivalently the values
all have doubled bits in binary, for example N=48 is 110000 binary.
(Compare the C<CornerReplicate> which also has these values along the X
axis.)
=head2 Level Ranges
Counting the N=0 point as level=0, and with each level being 4 copies of the
previous, the levels end at
    Nlevel = 4^level - 1     = 0, 3, 15, ...
    Xlevel = 3*2^level - 2   = 1, 4, 10, ...
    Ylevel = 0
For example level=2 is Nlevel = 2^(2*2)-1 = 15 at X=3*2^2-2 = 10.
=for GP-DEFINE  Nlevel(level) = 4^level - 1
=for GP-DEFINE  Xlevel(level) = 3*2^level - 2

=for GP-Test  Xlevel(2) == 10
Doubling a level is the middle of the next level and is the top of the
triangle in that next level.
    Ntop = 2*4^level - 1               = 1, 7, 31, ...
    Xtop = 3*2^level - 1               = 2, 5, 11, ...
    Ytop = 3*2^level - 2  = Xlevel     = 1, 4, 10, ...
For example doubling level=2 is Ntop = 2*4^2-1 = 31 at X=3*2^2-1 = 11 and
Y=3*2^2-2 = 10.
=for GP-DEFINE  Ntop(level) = 2*4^level - 1

The factor of 3 arises from the three steps which make up the N=0,1,2,3
section.  The Xlevel width grows as
    Xlevel(1) = 3
    Xlevel(level) = 2*Xwidth(level-1) + 3
which dividing out the factor of 3 is 2*w+1, giving 2^k-1 (in binary a left
shift and bring in a new 1 bit).
Notice too the Nlevel points as a fraction of the triangular area
Xlevel*(Xlevel-1)/2 gives the 4 out of 9 points filled,
    FillFrac = Nlevel / (Xlevel*(Xlevel-1)/2)
            -> 4/9
=head2 Arms
The optional C<arms> parameter can draw multiple curves, each advancing
successively.  For example 2 arms,
    arms => 2                            ...

The middle "." is the origin X=0,Y=0.  It would be more symmetrical to make
the origin the middle of the eight arms, at X=-0.5,Y=-0.5 in the above, but
that would give fractional X,Y values.  Apply an offset X+0.5,Y+0.5 to
centre it if desired.
=head2 Spacing
The optional C<diagonal_spacing> and C<straight_spacing> can increase the
space between points diagonally or vertically+horizontally.  The default for
each is 1.

The effect is only to spread the points.  The straight lines are both
horizontal and vertical so when they're stretched the curve remains on a 45
degree angle in an eighth of the plane.
In the level formulas above the "3" factor becomes 2*d+s, effectively being
the N=0 to N=3 section sized as d+s+d.
    d = diagonal_spacing
    s = straight_spacing
    Xlevel = (2d+s)*(2^level - 1)  + 1
    Xtop = (2d+s)*2^(level-1) - d - s + 1
    Ytop = (2d+s)*2^(level-1) - d - s

The code here might be pressed into use for this by drawing a mirror image
of the curve N=0 through Nlevel.  Or using the C<arms=E<gt>2> form N=0 to
N=4^level - 1, inclusive, and joining up the ends.
The curve is also usually conceived as scaling down by quarters.  This can
be had with C<straight_spacing =E<gt> 2> and then an offset to X+1,Y+1 to
centre in a 4*2^level square
=head2 Koch Curve Midpoints
The replicating structure is the same as the Koch curve
(L<Math::PlanePath::KochCurve>) in that the curve repeats four times to make
the next level.
The Sierpinski curve points are midpoints of a Koch curve of 90 degree
angles with a unit gap between verticals.

=head2 Koch Curve Rounded

This is a kind of "rounded" form of the 90-degree Koch, similar what
C<DragonRounded> does for the C<DragonCurve>.  Each 90 turn of the Koch
curve is done by two turns of 45 degrees in the Sierpinski curve here, and
each 180 degree turn in the Koch is two 90 degree turns here.  So the
Sierpinski turn sequence is pairs of the Koch turn sequence, as follows.
The mirroring means a swap leftE<lt>-E<gt>right between the two.

Create and return a new path object.
=item C<($x,$y) = $path-E<gt>n_to_xy ($n)>
Return the X,Y coordinates of point number C<$n> on the path.  Points begin
at 0 and if C<$n E<lt> 0> then the return is an empty list.
Fractional positions give an X,Y position along a straight line between the
integer positions.

Return 0, the first N in the path.

Return C<(0, 4**$level - 1)>, or for multiple arms return C<(0, $arms *

There are 4^level points in a level, or arms*4^level when multiple arms,
numbered starting from 0.

=head1 FORMULAS
=head2 N to dX,dY
The curve direction at N even can be calculated from the base-4 digits of
N/2 in a fashion similar to the Koch curve (L<Math::PlanePath::KochCurve/N
to Direction>).  Counting direction in eighths so 0=East, 1=North-East,
2=North, etc,
    digit     direction
    -----     ---------
      0           0
      1          -2
      2           2
      3           0
    direction = 1 + sum direction[base-4 digits of N/2]
      for N even
For example the direction at N=10 has N/2=5 which is "11" in base-4, so
direction = 1+(-2)+(-2) = -3 = south-west.
The 1 in 1+sum is direction north-east for N=0, then -2 or +2 for the digits
follow the curve.  For an odd arm the curve is mirrored and the sign of each
digit direction is flipped, so a subtract instead of add,
    direction
    mirrored  = 1 - sum direction[base-4 digits of N/2]
       for N even
For odd N=2k+1 the direction at N=2k is calculated and then also the turn
which is made from N=2k to N=2(k+1).  This is similar to the Koch curve next
turn (L<Math::PlanePath::KochCurve/N to Next Turn>).
   lowest non-3      next turn
   digit of N/2   (at N=2k+1,N=2k+2)
   ------------   ----------------
        0           -1 (right)
        1           +2 (left)
        2           -1 (right)
Again the turn is in eighths, so -1 means -45 degrees (to the right).  For
example at N=14 has N/2=7 which is "13" in base-4 so lowest non-3 is "1"
which is turn +2, so at N=15 and N=16 turn by 90 degrees left.
   direction = 1 + sum direction[base-4 digits of k]
                 + if N odd then nextturn[low-non-3 of k]
     for N=2k or 2k+1
   dX,dY = direction to 1,0 1,1 0,1 etc
For fractional N the same nextturn is applied to calculate the direction of
the next segment, and combined with the integer dX,dY as per
L<Math::PlanePath/N to dX,dY -- Fractional>.
   N=2k or 2k+1 + frac
   direction = 1 + sum direction[base-4 digits of k]
   if (frac != 0 or N odd)
     turn = nextturn[low-non-3 of k]
   if N odd then direction += turn
   dX,dY = direction to 1,0 1,1 0,1 etc
   if frac!=0 then
     direction += turn
     next_dX,next_dY = direction to 1,0 1,1 0,1 etc
     dX += frac*(next_dX - dX)
     dY += frac*(next_dY - dY)
For the C<straight_spacing> and C<diagonal_spacing> options the dX,dY values
are not units like dX=1,dY=0 but instead are the spacing amount, either
straight or diagonal so
    direction      delta with spacing
    ---------    -------------------------
        0        dX=straight_spacing, dY=0
        1        dX=diagonal_spacing, dY=diagonal_spacing
        2        dX=0, dY=straight_spacing
        3        dX=-diagonal_spacing, dY=diagonal_spacing
       etc
As an alternative, it's possible to take just base-4 digits of N, without
separate handling for the low-bit of N, but it requires an adjustment on the
low base-4 digit, and the next turn calculation for fractional N becomes
hairier.  A little state table could encode the cumulative and lowest
whatever if desired, to take N by base-4 digits high to low, or equivalently
by bits high to low with an initial state based on high bit at an odd or
even bit position.
