\ccDefinition
The concept \ccRefName\ describes the set of requirements to be fulfilled by
any class used to instantiate the last parameter in the shortest\_path\_2
\ccIndexMainItem[c]{shortest_path_2} function. This function computes the shortest path between
two points in a scene.
This concept inherits all the types and requirement from the
\ccc{VisibilityComplexTraits} concept and adds a few additional primitives used
specifically for shortest path computations.
We distinguish two different number types: the one used for the input data and
the one used for the distance computations during our algorithm. The latter type
has to support the square root operation whereas the first type doesn't (i.e. it
can be of integer type).
