I am not suggesting that we drop the ability to specify the min arc length but I do think it's reasonable for it to default to zero rather than some length like 3 or 5 (at least until we really understand what's going on).
I propose:
If --route is specified but --remove-short-arcs is not, we enable the short arc removal for zero length arcs.
If --remove-short-arcs=num is specified then we remove arcs <= num.
If --remove-short-arcs=no is specified, we don't do any short arc removal even if --route is specified.
That sounds fine, but I don't see why --remove-short-arcs should not be the default even when routing is not enabled. I can see the point that it is not strictly needed, but aren't repeated points in a way non-sensical anyway?
