Is there any way other than using the mouse and alt key to create points and set the curve between them?

add-points-and-curves-on-ej-function-js

In the ej.function.js help the standard, non-curve way of adding/changing points is via lists (which I'm sure you know):

To change a point just add the curve value onto the end of the list:

[point] [x] [y] [curve]: move existing point

I suppose if would make sense if you could do:

but of course that has the same number of numerical args as moving an existing point without a curve value.

[x] [y] : add new point
[point] [x] [y] : move existing point

but of course that has the same number of numerical args as moving an existing point without a curve value.

I thought I'd tried that with something like:

...and I got an error saying point 50 didn't exist (since it's assuming [point] [x] [y] )

Would checking whether the first arg is an int or float be too subtle? i.e., if it's an int it's an index of a point, if it's a float it's a y value for a new point?

It's not an easy task in js, because everything have the type 

number ;-) I could modulo it, but then if you send 0 0.5 -0.5, it will

cause weird result.
