//! # Donut Maze
//!
//! The approach to this solution is very similar to [`Day 18`] however parsing the maze
//! cleanly is quite tricky.
//!
//! We first simplify the problem by running a [breadth first search] from each portal
//! creating a list of distances between each pair of portals.
//!
//! Then a second BFS over this list efficiently solves both parts. For part two we use a cache to
//! memoize previously seen values. We optimize part two further by not recursing deeper than the
//! number of portals as this would mean a redundant trip to an already visited portal.
