        Pymunk has two primary means of ignoring collisions: groups and
        category masks.

        Groups are used to ignore collisions between parts on a complex object. A
        ragdoll is a good example. When jointing an arm onto the torso, you'll
        want them to allow them to overlap. Groups allow you to do exactly that.
        Shapes that have the same group don't generate collisions. So by placing
        all of the shapes in a ragdoll in the same group, you'll prevent it from
        colliding against other parts of itself. Category masks allow you to mark
        which categories an object belongs to and which categories it collidies
        with.

        For example, a game has four collision categories: player (0), enemy (1),
        player bullet (2), and enemy bullet (3). Neither players nor enemies
        should not collide with their own bullets, and bullets should not collide
        with other bullets. However, players collide with enemy bullets, and
        enemies collide with player bullets.

        ============= =============== =============
        Object        Object Category Category Mask
        ============= =============== =============
        Player        1               4, 5
        Enemy         2               2, 3, 4
        Player Bullet 3               1, 5
        Enemy Bullet  4               2, 5
        Walls         5               1, 2, 3, 4
        ============= =============== =============

        Note that everything in this example collides with walls. Additionally,
        the enemies collide with each other.

        By default, objects exist in every category and collide with every category.

        Objects can fall into multiple categories. For instance, you might have a
        category for a red team, and have a red player bullet. In the above
        example, each object only has one category.

        The default type of categories and mask in ShapeFilter is unsigned int
        which has a resolution of 32 bits on most systems.

        There is one last way of filtering collisions using collision handlers.
        See the section on callbacks for more information. Collision handlers can
        be more flexible, but can be slower. Fast collision filtering rejects
        collisions before running the expensive collision detection code, so
        using groups or category masks is preferred.

        Example of how category and mask can be used to filter out player from
        enemy object:

        >>> import pymunk
        >>> s = pymunk.Space()
        >>> player_b = pymunk.Body(1,1)
        >>> player_c = pymunk.Circle(player_b, 10)
        >>> s.add(player_b, player_c)
        >>> player_c.filter = pymunk.ShapeFilter(categories=0x1)
        >>> hit = s.point_query_nearest((0,0), 0, pymunk.ShapeFilter())
        >>> hit != None
        True
        >>> filter = pymunk.ShapeFilter(mask=pymunk.ShapeFilter.ALL_MASKS ^ 0x1)
        >>> hit = s.point_query_nearest((0,0), 0, filter)
        >>> hit == None
        True
        >>> enemy_b = pymunk.Body(1,1)
        >>> enemy_c = pymunk.Circle(enemy_b, 10)
        >>> s.add(enemy_b, enemy_c)
        >>> hit = s.point_query_nearest((0,0), 0, filter)
        >>> hit != None
        True
