This plugin uses multiple techniques to either reduce the number of instructions or reduce the attribute length:

• Convert between relative or absolute coordinates, whichever is shortest.
• Convert between commands. For example, a Bézier curve that behaves like a straight line might as well use a line instruction.
• Remove redundant commands. For example, a command that moves to the current position can be removed.
• Trim redundant delimiters and leading zeros.
• Round numeric values using conventional rounding rules.
