Description:
This class represents the operation interface to the collision detection system.

The interface ID is defined as COLLISION_FO_INTERFACE. To obtain a pointer to this interface you can use the macro GetCollisionOpsInterface(cd), which will return (CollisionOps )(cd)->GetFPInterface(COLLISION_FO_INTERFACE).
