Technically you would need to add a getter, too. But AABB_traits doesn't
handle stateful traits anyway so it this is pointless. In turn all of
this would need to end up in the AABBTraits concept to be of some actual
use and this would limit all other implementations too far, IMO.

In general: I don't see why AABB_tree even requires that the primitive
type and the traits class are packaged up into a single traits class...
