/// Returns the pigeonhole sorted version of the input list reference.
///
/// Takes a list reference and returns a `Vec<i32>` or an error with the reason.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Basic usage:
/// ```
/// let result = algorithmz::sorting::pigeonhole_sort(&[2,1,4,3,6,5]).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(result,[1,2,3,4,5,6]);
/// ```
///
/// Match example:
/// ``` 
/// use algorithmz::sorting::pigeonhole_sort;
/// match pigeonhole_sort(&[2,1,4,3,6,5]) {
///     Ok(n) => println!("The result is {:?}",n),
///     Err(e) => eprintln!("The error was: {}",e),
/// }
/// ```
