* Decides how to choose between candidate recipients of a hop template point.
* <p>
* The routing policy will be given an address and a set of recipients matching this address. It is responsible for
* choosing one of the given recipients each time {@link #select} is called. The routing policy chooses which recipient
* to return each time at its sole discretion, using information in the RoutingContext argument to choose or not as required
* to implement the policy.
* <p>
* Example:
* <ul>
* <li>The given <i>address</i> is <code>a/b/?</code>
* <li>The given <i>recipients</i> are <code>a/b/c, a/b/d and a/b/e</code> - one of these three must be returned on every call to <code>choose</code>
* </ul>
* <p>
* This class is pluggable per template point in the address of a hop.
