Description
There are several APIs that could be made public to improve usability. For example, `PathBuilder::cubic_to_pt` is currently `pub(crate)`, but it's particularly convenient when the control points are the results of complex manipulations, as it allows passing these point values directly. In contrast, `cubic_to` requires destructuring points into individual coordinates, which forces me to create temporary variables.
Is there any specific reason why these APIs cannot be public?

Research direction
Start with the PathBuilder::cubic_to_pt and cubic_to entry points named in the issue, then inspect related PathBuilder APIs and their visibility. Determine which convenience APIs should be public and why, and check existing coverage for these methods. Done means the agreed APIs are publicly usable with appropriate verification.
