Distance between a point and a line/plane

[alikureishy]

I see the following method stubs in occ_impl/geom.py:

    def distanceToLine(self):
        raise NotImplementedError("Have not needed this yet, but OCCT supports it!")

    ...

    def distanceToPlane(self):
        raise NotImplementedError("Have not needed this yet, but OCCT supports it!")

Any chance these could be implemented? Sure would be nice to have a clean way of accessing this functionality at the cadquery level, instead of digging into OCCT objects.

I think there is support for implementing these, but we have limited resources like most other open source projects. We do accept PRs from the community.

For reference, I think these are the relevant OCCT functions:

• Distance from plane to point
• Distance from line to point
