ProposalFunction is an interface for all proposal functions that would be used with a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm.

Given a current point in the parameter space it proposes a new point. Proposal functions may or may not be symmetric, in the sense that the probability to propose X1 given we are at X2 need not be the same as the probability to propose X2 given that we are at X1. In this case, the IsSymmetric method should return false, and the Metropolis algorithm will need to take into account the proposal density to maintain detailed balance.
