[PythonCAD] Question about transferring objects between layers

I guess my question would be:  Why would I want to transfer only the
points?   Is there a use case where only the points need transerring,
and not the segment?

(I suppose you might want to *copy* some points from one layer to
another, but that's a different use than *moving* the points.)

Sounds reasonable to me.

Caveat:  I am not a mechanical CAD guru.
