Part: The new Part_Point, Part_Line and Part_Plane commands have awkward names #18853

Problem description
The recent Part_Point, Part_Line and Part_Plane commands have very awkward names. There already are point, line and plane Part primitives called Part::Point
, Part::Line
and Part::Plane
internally. Which has led to the adoption of 'Part_Point' etc. to refer to those primitives (on the forum for example). There are also Wiki pages with those names (https://wiki.freecad.org/Part_Point etc.).
IMO, to avoid this confusion, the new commands should be renamed to Part_DatumPoint, Part_DatumLine and Part_DatumPlane.
