Objective
Currently, the following names are used for raycasting/shapecasting methods:
cast_rayray_hitsray_hits_callbackcast_shapeshape_hitsshape_hits_callbackWhile these are fine, they could be improved. The distinction between
cast_rayandray_hitsisn't immediately obvious from the name, and the naming isn't very consistent. In addition, a more common and perhaps cleaner name forcast_rayisraycast.Solution
Rename the methods to be cleaner and more consistent:
cast_ray→raycastray_hits→raycast_manyray_hits_callback→raycast_callbackcast_shape→shapecastshape_hits→shapecast_manyshape_hits_callback→shapecast_callbackThe old methods still exist, but have been deprecated and will be removed after the next release.
