Migrate to "use" instead of alias pattern for `Real` #222

Open Vrixyz opened 1 month ago

Vrixyz commented 1 month ago

As a new user opening rapier, it can be overwhelming to see Real used everywhere, rapier uses heavily generic code, so thriving to limit indirection can help.

// This can be gated behind a feature flag for f64 or f32.
use f64 as Real;

pub fn takes_a_real(param: Real) {}

while #223 improves the behavior, I'll keep this open until we investigate ideas from https://github.com/dimforge/parry/pull/232 properly.
