    //    Contact points can be added even if the distance is positive. The constraint solver can deal with
    //    contacts with positive distances as well as negative (penetration). Contact points are discarded
    //    if the distance exceeds a certain threshold.
    //    Bullet has a contact processing threshold and a contact breaking threshold.
    //    If the distance is larger than the contact breaking threshold, it will be removed after one frame.
    //    If the distance is larger than the contact processing threshold, the constraint solver will ignore it.

    //    This is separate/independent from the collision margin. The collision margin increases the object a bit
    //    to improve collision detection performance and accuracy.
