/// A type with a natural interpolation that provides strong subdivision guarantees.
///
/// Although the only required method is `interpolate_stable`, many things are expected of it:
///
/// 1. The notion of interpolation should follow naturally from the semantics of the type, so
///    that inferring the interpolation mode from the type alone is sensible.
///
/// 2. The interpolation recovers something equivalent to the starting value at `t = 0.0`
///    and likewise with the ending value at `t = 1.0`. They do not have to be data-identical, but
///    they should be semantically identical. For example, [`Quat::slerp`] doesn't always yield its
///    second rotation input exactly at `t = 1.0`, but it always returns an equivalent rotation.
///
/// 3. Importantly, the interpolation must be *subdivision-stable*: for any interpolation curve
///    between two (unnamed) values and any parameter-value pairs `(t0, p)` and `(t1, q)`, the
///    interpolation curve between `p` and `q` must be the *linear* reparameterization of the original
///    interpolation curve restricted to the interval `[t0, t1]`.
///
/// The last of these conditions is very strong and indicates something like constant speed. It
/// is called "subdivision stability" because it guarantees that breaking up the interpolation
/// into segments and joining them back together has no effect.
///
/// Here is a diagram depicting it:
/// ```text
/// top curve = u.interpolate_stable(v, t)
///
///              t0 => p   t1 => q    
///   |-------------|---------|-------------|
/// 0 => u         /           \          1 => v
///              /               \
///            /                   \
///          /        linear         \
///        /     reparameterization    \
///      /   t = t0 * (1 - s) + t1 * s   \
///    /                                   \
///   |-------------------------------------|
/// 0 => p                                1 => q
///
/// bottom curve = p.interpolate_stable(q, s)
/// ```
///
/// Note that some common forms of interpolation do not satisfy this criterion. For example,
/// [`Quat::lerp`] and [`Rot2::nlerp`] are not subdivision-stable.
///
/// Furthermore, this is not to be used as a general trait for abstract interpolation.
/// Consumers rely on the strong guarantees in order for behavior based on this trait to be
/// well-behaved.

    /// smooth following of the target that is independent of framerate.

    /// More specifically, when this is called repeatedly, the result is that the distance between
    /// `self` and a fixed `target` attenuates exponentially, with the rate of this exponential
    /// decay given by `decay_rate`.

    /// For example, at `decay_rate = 0.0`, this has no effect.
    /// At `decay_rate = f32::INFINITY`, `self` immediately snaps to `target`.
