/// Compute a shortest path using the [breadth-first search
/// algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadth-first_search).
///
/// The shortest path starting from `start` up to a node for which `success` returns `true` is
/// computed and returned in a `Some`. If no path can be found, `None`
/// is returned instead.
///
/// - `start` is the starting node.
/// - `successors` returns a list of successors for a given node.
/// - `success` checks whether the goal has been reached. It is not a node as some problems require
/// a dynamic solution instead of a fixed node.
///
/// A node will never be included twice in the path as determined by the `Eq` relationship.
///
/// The returned path comprises both the start and end node.
///
/// # Example
///
/// We will search the shortest path on a chess board to go from (1, 1) to (4, 6) doing only knight
/// moves.
///
/// The first version uses an explicit type `Pos` on which the required traits are derived.
///
/// ```
/// use pathfinding::prelude::bfs;
///
/// #[derive(Clone, Debug, Eq, Hash, Ord, PartialEq, PartialOrd)]
/// struct Pos(i32, i32);
///
/// impl Pos {
///   fn successors(&self) -> Vec<Pos> {
///     let &Pos(x, y) = self;
///     vec![Pos(x+1,y+2), Pos(x+1,y-2), Pos(x-1,y+2), Pos(x-1,y-2),
///          Pos(x+2,y+1), Pos(x+2,y-1), Pos(x-2,y+1), Pos(x-2,y-1)]
///   }
/// }
///
/// static GOAL: Pos = Pos(4, 6);
/// let result = bfs(&Pos(1, 1), |p| p.successors(), |p| *p == GOAL);
/// assert_eq!(result.expect("no path found").len(), 5);
/// ```
///
/// The second version does not declare a `Pos` type, makes use of more closures,
/// and is thus shorter.
///
/// ```
/// use pathfinding::prelude::bfs;
///
/// static GOAL: (i32, i32) = (4, 6);
/// let result = bfs(&(1, 1),
///                  |&(x, y)| vec![(x+1,y+2), (x+1,y-2), (x-1,y+2), (x-1,y-2),
///                                 (x+2,y+1), (x+2,y-1), (x-2,y+1), (x-2,y-1)],
///                  |&p| p == GOAL);
/// assert_eq!(result.expect("no path found").len(), 5);
