Yes, apparently that's right, but it can be very subtle. Think about a
user importing a file, which includes a bezier-circle and a ... well
... circle-circle. Both might look identical, but behave very
different. E.g. you can't change the radius of the bezier-circle
or do your beloved corel-draw pie-manipulation directly.

As a side note: in my experience, pure circles/rectangles dont exist
much longer than 1 second after being created in 99.999% of all
cases. After that they get merged/cutted etc. anyway.
