You can already modify an object position by calling setProperty with "xPos" and "yPos" properties.

It seems also that the documented moveObjectAbs already accomplish what setPosition would do.

ok, i've overseen moveObjectAbs, sorry.

but, imo, it's rather a bad name for this function.

we have a getPosition() which is probably one of the most used functions of the scripter API.
it feels natural to have a setPosition(x, y) or setPosition((x, y)).

i would dare to say that even movePosition(dx, dy) would feel better than moveObject().

i suggest to:

- add setPosition()
- deprecate movePositionAbs()
- think of renaming moveObject() to fit the set/get naming (i'm not 100% sure movePosition() is good enough)

setProperty() with the position can stay, but i fear nobody uses it.
