The only requirement is to inherit from BranchingDesc. Then you put
everything in the object that you need for the commit operation.

It's used for keeping track of the overall allocated memory (in engine-
ctrl.hpp:70). As BranchingDescs are allocated on the heap (in
contrast to the space), their memory has to be counted extra.

It's owned by whoever requests the description. Usually,
description() is called by a search engine, so the search engines own
and delete the BranchingDescs (e.g. reco-stack.hpp:82).
