Trait bigbang::AsEntity

pub trait AsEntity {
    fn as_entity(&self) -> Entity;
    fn apply_acceleration(
        &self, 
        acceleration: (f64, f64, f64), 
        time_step: f64
    ) -> Self;
}

[[GravTree]] works with any type which implements [AsEntity]. In order to implement [AsEntity], a type must be able to represent itself as a gravitational spatial entity. This, simply, entails constructing an [Entity] from the type, and defining how to acceleration to the velocity of your type.

More generally, this entails that a type must contain, or be able to derive, its velocity, position, radius and mass, and it must be able to respond to acceleration impulses in the form of triples of f64s.

See `impl AsEntity for Entity' for an example of what this could look like.
