Flowsnake technical information

The Flowsnake was invented by William Gosper.  It is a space-filling
fractal curve.  "Space-filling" means that if this process were carried
out infinitely, this curve would pass through every point in the region
it occupies.  It is a fractal in that if any "segment" is enlarged, it will
be identical to the entire curve.  This curve has a fractal dimension of
log(3)/log(sqrt(7)) = ~1.129.
