        //
        // Finally, moving the right-hand side to the left:
        //
        // dot(lin_vel1, tangent_x) + dot(r1 x tangent_x, ang_vel1) - dot(lin_vel2, tangent_x) - dot(r2 x tangent_x, ang_vel2) = 0

        //
        // By inspection, we can see that the Jacobian is the following:
        //
        //          linear1      angular1       linear2       angular2
        // J_x = [ -tangent_x, -(r1 x tangent_x), tangent_x, r2 x tangent_x ]
        // J_y = [ -tangent_y, -(r1 x tangent_y), tangent_y, r2 x tangent_y ]
        //
        // From this, we can derive the effective inverse mass for both tangent directions:
        //
        // K_x = J_x * M^-1 * J_x^T
        //     = m1 + m2 + (r1 x tangent_x)^T * I1 * (r1 x tangent_x) + (r2 x tangent_x)^T * I2 * (r2 x tangent_x)

        // See "Constraints Derivation for Rigid Body Simulation in 3D" section 2.1.3
        // by Daniel Chappuis for the full derivation of the effective inverse mass.
        //
