/// Trait for pairing-friendly elliptic curves.

/// This trait abstracts over different pairing-based curves (e.g., BN254)
/// to allow generic implementations of proof aggregation.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```rust,ignore
/// use samaharam::traits::PairingEngine;
///
/// fn aggregate<E: PairingEngine>(proofs: Vec<Proof<E>>) -> AggregatedProof<E> {
///     // Works with any pairing-friendly curve
/// }
/// ```
