//! The `extsort` crate exposes external sorting (i.e. on-disk sorting)
//! capability on arbitrarily sized iterators, even if the generated content of
//! the iterator doesn't fit in memory. Once sorted, it returns a new sorted
//! iterator.
//!
//! In order to remain efficient for all implementations, `extsort` doesn't
//! handle serialization but leaves that to the user.
//!
//! The sorter can optionally use [`rayon`](https://crates.io/crates/rayon) to
//! sort the in-memory buffer. It is generally faster when the buffer size is big
//! enough for parallelism to have an impact over its overhead.
//!
//! # Examples
//! ```rust
//! extern crate extsort;
//! extern crate byteorder;
//!
//! use extsort::*;
//! use byteorder::{ReadBytesExt, WriteBytesExt};
//! use std::io::{Read, Write};
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, Eq, PartialEq, Ord, PartialOrd)]
//! struct MyStruct(u32);
//!
//! impl Sortable for MyStruct {
//!     fn encode<W: Write>(&self, writer: &mut W) -> std::io::Result<()> {
//!         writer.write_u32::<byteorder::LittleEndian>(self.0)?;
//!         Ok(())
//!     }
//!
//!     fn decode<R: Read>(reader: &mut R) -> std::io::Result<MyStruct> {
//!         reader.read_u32::<byteorder::LittleEndian>()
//!             .map(MyStruct)
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! let sorter = ExternalSorter::new();
//! let reversed_data = (0..1000).rev().map(MyStruct).into_iter();
//! let sorted_iter = sorter.sort(reversed_data).unwrap();
//! let sorted_data = sorted_iter.collect::<std::io::Result<Vec<MyStruct>>>().unwrap();
//!
//! let expected_data = (0..1000).map(MyStruct).collect::<Vec<MyStruct>>();
//! assert_eq!(sorted_data, expected_data);
//! ```
