3/// An envelope type that encompasses some child nodes.
4///
5/// An envelope defines how different bounding boxes of inserted children in an r-tree can interact,
6/// e.g. how they can be merged or intersected.
7/// This trait is not meant to be implemented by the user. Currently, only one implementation
8/// exists ([crate::AABB]) and should be used.
