Type Parameters:

Solution_ - the solution type, the class with the PlanningSolution annotation

T - the selection type

All Known Implementing Classes:

```
public interface SelectionFilter<Solution_,T>
```
Decides on accepting or discarding a selection (which is a PlanningEntity, a planningValue, a Move or a Selector). For example, a pinned PlanningEntity is rejected and therefore never used in a Move.
A filtered selection is considered as not selected, it does not count as an unaccepted selection.
