Affine space is similar to a vector space, but it does not contain a distinguished origin point.
In order to manipulate points from the affine space, we have to pick the origin (aka the zero point) ourselves.
Examples of affine spaces are temperature scales, time, (physical) space, and so on.
Supertype of all affine spaces.
