Adam Chalmers 0c478680cb KCL: No 'let' or 'const' required when declaring vars (#4063)
Previously variable declaration required a keyword, e.g.

```kcl
let x = 4
const x = 4
var x = 4
```

These were all valid, and did the exact same thing. As of this PR, they're all still valid, but the KCL formatter will change them all to just:

```kcl
x = 4
```

which is the new preferred way to declare a constant. 

But the formatter will remove the var/let/const keywords.

Repeat a 3-dimensional solid along a linear path, with a dynamic amount

of distance between each repetition, some specified number of times.

patternLinear3d(data: LinearPattern3dData, solid_set: SolidSet) -> [Solid]

Arguments

Name Type Description Required
data LinearPattern3dData Data for a linear pattern on a 3D model. Yes
solid_set SolidSet A solid or a group of solids. Yes

Returns

[Solid]

Examples

exampleSketch = startSketchOn('XZ')
  |> startProfileAt([0, 0], %)
  |> line([0, 2], %)
  |> line([3, 1], %)
  |> line([0, -4], %)
  |> close(%)

example = extrude(1, exampleSketch)
  |> patternLinear3d({
       axis: [1, 0, 1],
       repetitions: 6,
       distance: 6
     }, %)
