/*!
 * @file cr_engine.h
 * @brief The collision reaction engine, defining generic collision reactions to collision events
 *
 * some parts of this module are tuned for efficiency. They are probably not self-explenatory anymore :D
 *  - Collision/ CollisionEvent objects recycling: This class contains a class of precached objects of these types
 *      they are used for fast registration of collision events: These objects can be get by the interface functions and
 *      are returned after one cycle automaticly by reseting the cached lists to its initial state. So do not wonder :D
