A library provides the implementation of algorithms and data structures related to [Sokoban].
## Features
- **Solver**
- **Search algorithms**: Supports A\*, IDA\* and GBFS search.
- **Strategies**: Supports optimal and suboptimal strategies.
- **Level**
- **Zero-allocation lazy parsing**: Parses levels lazily from an in-memory string without memory allocations except for level creation.
- **Lazy stream parsing**: Parses levels lazily from a stream.
- **Map reconstruction**: Reconstructs the map from the solution.
- **Canonicalization**: Removes elements from the map that are not relevant to the solution.
- **RLE support**: Enables loading of levels encoded in Run-Length Encoding (RLE) format.
- **Solution**
- **Reversal move handling**: Automatically interprets reversal moves as undo actions.
- **Metrics calculation**: Computes metrics such as `box_lines`, `box_changes`, `pushing_sessions`, and `player_lines`.
- **Pathfinding**: Finds the optimal player path to push a box to a position.
- **Deadlock detection**: Detects static deadlocks and freeze deadlocks.
