Problem description

Hi
I posted about this problem on FreeCAD Foruns: https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=746445#p746445.

I am having an issue while trying to union/intersect a point array and other objects. The union/intersect fails if the point array has overlapping objects (which I need to happen). I found in other forum posts that a "fuse" option should resolve the issue. However, I could not find this option for point arrays, only for other array types. I attached a file showing a simple case.

crisb commented that "The PointArray indeed misses the Fuse property which the other arrays have"

So, maybe, the fuse property could be added to the various point arrays.

Thank you all for FreeCAD!
