Some error messages would only work if objects were supplied as strings. These would fail if objects were passed (as objects) that had already been deleted.
These messages were perhaps originally intended as a debuggin aid but now add clutter to the output panes. Remaining messges are mostly the result of methods to display attributes of an object (which one could call from the Python console) or actually provide some information which would not be obvious from the circumstances
The function would trigger the creation of duplicate Draft Polar Arrays (only on Linux and only if the Fuse option is selected and the Link Array option deselected).

The reapply_diffuse_color function is no longer required anyway as Issue #8340 has been fixed.
* Add offset options to Draft PathArray
Allows user to specify a starting and ending offset to items in Draft PathArrays.

It takes a `Shape` and replicates it around a path, while at the
same time adding a rotation to each copy. This can be used to create
a twisted "ribcage" from a frame-like object, which can be used
in a more complicated `Shape`, for example, a tunnel or bridge
object.
This includes `make_arc_3points`, `make_array`, `make_bezcurve`,
`make_block`, `make_bspline`, `make_circle`, `make_circulararray`,
`make_clone`, `make_copy`, `make_dimension`, `make_drawingview`,
`make_ellipse`, `make_facebinder`, `make_fillet`, `make_label`,
`make_line`, `make_orthoarray`, `make_patharray`, `make_point`,
`make_pointarray`, `make_polararray`, `make_polygon`,
`make_rectangle`, `make_shape2dview`, `make_shapestring`,
`make_sketch`, `make_text`, `make_wire`, `make_wpproxy`.
These are added to the `draftmake` Doxygen group
so that the functions contained in each module are listed
appropriately in the automatically generated documentation.
`PathObj` becomes `PathObject`, `Xlate` becomes `ExtraTranslation`,
and `PathSubs` becomes `PathSubelements`.
Update `make_path_array` function and the Gui Command.
Test the inputs to the `make_path_array` function
and return `None` if there is a problem.
Now the make function accepts as input a `"String"` which must be
the `Label` of an object in the document, so it is easier to create
arrays quickly from the Python console.
Add the new parameters to the make function, `align_mode`,
`tan_vector`, `force_vertical`, and `vertical_vector`.
These properties were added to the proxy object in 0db11da9cf.
Add message deprecating the older call `makePathArray`.
Adjust the GuiCommand accordingly. Now it uses the commit
mechanism of the parent `Modifier` class so that the executed
functions are recorded in the Python console.
Clean up the `PathArray` class as well.
