Description

Happy new year!

I was looking at cadquery (https://dcowden.github.io/cadquery/apireference.html#d-operations) and thought their API is quite nice, I'd like to suggest extending it's functionality to include things like fillet, dogbone and the drawing functions that remember the "current position", like moveTo, lineTo, lineH, lineV etc.

Research direction

Start by reading the existing $() API and its documentation, then compare the requested fillet, dogbone, moveTo, lineTo, lineH, and lineV abilities with the CadQuery reference linked in the issue. The issue does not name files or tests, and completion criteria and the scope of the proposed API expansion still need to be defined.
