Comment (by dbfaken@…):

 Attaching a patch which implements the final suggestion:
 1. scale the circle generated by make_arc() so that the *minimum* (instead
 of maximum) bloating distance is given by 'resizing'.    (or, for resizing
 < 0, the maximum shrinking distance)
 2. intersect the results of the minkowski sum with the 'normal offset' of
 the initial shape (or its inverse, for resizing < 0).
