I find it complicated to use. I don't see much purpose in the "base" and "target". You can make things simpler with one less path. You would have:
1. The source path
2. The "shaper"
3. A rectangle.
The transform maps the rectangle to the shaper. In the nominal use, the rectangle frames the source path. Benefits: the rectangle can be implicit, and can be for instance the bounding box of the source path (max/min x,y of the anchors, or anchors and tangents) or defined by guides, or the selection... See for instance https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-ofn-bend-path
What makes the fast algorithm faster?
