/**
 * Returns the number of points in a geometry.
 *
 * @remarks
 * It takes 1 arguments.
 *
 * `pointsCount(input_index_or_node_path)`
 *
 * - `input_index_or_node_path` returns the number of points, as a number
 *
 * ## Usage
 *
 * - `pointsCount(0)` - returns the number of points in the input node.
 * - `pointsCount('/geo/merge1')` - returns the number of points in the node /geo/merge1
 *
