Question about behavior of transform of a point

[hpb-htw]

Given the following code:

import geometry;

unitsize(1cm);

coordsys gnd = cartesiansystem(
    (0, -1), i = (0, -1), j = (1, 0)
);
show("" , "$x$", "$y$", gnd, xpen=invisible);

pair A = (2, 3); // fixed
real c = 2;

transform shiftToA = shift(A.x, A.y);

point G = point(gnd, (0, 2)) ;
dot("", G);

point Gp = shiftToA * G; // expected result: (2, 5) in gnd
dot("", Gp, blue); //  (-3, 4) in gnd => not realy intuiv,

// to get my expected result:
point Gpp = point(gnd, shiftToA * (G.x, G.y));
dot("", Gpp, red); // (2, 5)

I expected, that the result of a translation is relative to the coordinate system of the translated point. In this example I intuitively expected that the transform of a point G (0, 2) by a vector (2, 3) is the point (2, 5) in the same coordinate system of the point (0, 2). To archive this result I have to put the x- and y- coordinates of the point G explicitly into a pair, as about. So my question is: is this behavior of the shift-transform the expected behavior (=your intention)? If so, what was the reason of your decision?

Hello,

I'm no more the maintainer of this package.
Can you report this issue to the Asymptote project please ?
