Similator (MicroStream API)

All Known Subinterfaces:

PersistenceMemberSimilator

All Known Implementing Classes:

PersistenceMemberSimilator.Default, Similator.Sequence, SimilatorSequence

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
```
@FunctionalInterface
public interface Similator<T>
```
Function type that is used to determine the similarity of objects with compatible types.
This is similar (pun) to Comparator or Equalator, but aims at more fine grained comparison, e.g. for integrating String similarity heuristics like if(similarName.evaluate("Jack", "Jake") > 0.5) {...}}}.
To not confound the admitted strange name "Similator" with "Simulator" or "Assimilator" (the building where the Protoss get their gas from :D)
