Bug Description
Arcs are plotted in Gerbers as straight lines, but the number of lines is too small, resulting in visibly notchy board edges. Could the number of lines be increased, please? Ideally the number of straight lines should be user-configurable, of course, but just a significant increase in the hard-coded number would be very welcome.

Question: is there a good reason for not emitting 'proper' G-codes in gerbers? The G02 and G03 interpolations under G75 semantics would be pretty easy to implement.
Maybe they are somewhat esoteric and not supported by all the plotters out there?
