There may be small differences in the result after optimisation but
you shouldn't worry about that right now (if you really want to
optimise this function, the first thing to do is to change your data
structure for points : a strict pair of int (data Point = P !Int !Int)
could easily go more than 5 times faster, I tried).

I tend to always use this "map maySwitch . unfoldr go $ (x1,y1,0)"
style since I like to see things in terms of functions compositions
and it is easier to refactor this kind of code with copy and paste
(not really relevant here but for longer chains it's interesting).
