        A common use case is to use a for-construction rectangle to define the centers of a
        hole pattern::

            s = Workplane().rect(4.0, 4.0, forConstruction=True).vertices().circle(0.25)

        Creates 4 circles at the corners of a square centered on the origin. Another common case is
        to use successive circle() calls to create concentric circles.  This works because the
        center of a circle is its reference point::

            s = Workplane().circle(2.0).circle(1.0)

        Creates two concentric circles, which when extruded will form a ring.

        Future Enhancements:
            better way to handle forConstruction
            project points not in the workplane plane onto the workplane plane
