/**
 * A `BranchCollisionPolicy` defines when a collision is detected and accepted in a bidirectional traversal, see {@link BidirectionalTraversalDescription}.
 *
 * Given an evaluator and a path predicate, a `BranchCollisionPolicy` will create a `BranchCollisionDetector`, which will detect collisions between two
 * traversers and use the `Evaluator` and `Path` predicate to decide whether the resulting path will be included in the result.
