Hi. I have been using COMPAS version 0.13.3 and recently upgraded to 0.16.2.  
I am missing `set_face_attribute` for `Mesh`:

Could you give some hint where they moved to?  
Thanks!

And the same goes for `get_vertices_attributes` - what did it change to in version 0.16.2?

All these methods are now the same except the prefix `set` and `get` is gone, eg. `mesh.face_attribute('foo')` gets the `foo` attribute and `mesh.face_attribute('foo', 700)` sets that same attribute to the value 700.
