/// A boxed comparator with single ownership.
///
/// `BoxComparator` wraps a comparator function in a `Box`, providing single
/// ownership semantics. It is not cloneable and consumes `self` in
/// composition operations.
///
/// # Type Parameters
///
/// * `T` - The type of values being compared
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust
/// use qubit_function::comparator::{Comparator, BoxComparator};
/// use std::cmp::Ordering;
///
/// let cmp = BoxComparator::new(|a: &i32, b: &i32| a.cmp(b));
/// assert_eq!(cmp.compare(&5, &3), Ordering::Greater);
/// ```
