Hi Pavel,

  I`m thinking from math perspective, in math we do not have points and 
vectors separation.

All is points (or vectors). Elements form the R3 space. And you can add 
one point and another.
Other then that I do not see any advantage.

Represeting  a point and a vector differently is an innovation, we can 
see will  people like it or not.
If you go that route, please do not forget converters :

Point point(Vector v) { return new Point(v.x, v.y, v.z); }
Vector vector(Point v) { return new Vector(v.x, v.y, v.z); }

Thanks
