Wouldn't that look nicer with the ``g`` repeated on every line, no extra
indentation, and no extraneous parentheses?

    g.move_to((p1 + p2a) / 2)
    g.line_to(p1 + (p2 - p1) * frac)
    g.line_to((p1 + p1a) / 2)
    g.stroke()
    g.move_to((p2 + p2a) / 2)
    g.line_to(p2 + (p1 - p2) * frac)
    g.line_to((p2 + p1a) / 2)
    g.stroke()

Sometimes it's hard to know when a function has a side-effect. I appreciate
that these impure functions tend to return None.
