Comment:

 I'll close this one as it doesn't really make sense to snap a point
 against a line, for the sole purpose that it's NOT POSSIBLE in a finite
 space. Eventually you'd be snapping the line to the projected point on it.
 What I mean is that you can't obtain a "point-on-line" w/out actually
 adding a vertex to the line.
