Crate out

Provides functionality to get the n largest items from a &mut [T].

This library can provide significant performance increase compared to sorting or converting to a heap when n is relatively small. The unstable methods can be used without the standard library.

n = 100, len = 1_000_000:
test binary_heap   ... bench:   6,599,355 ns/iter (+/- 84,674)
test max           ... bench:     669,726 ns/iter (+/- 13,595)
test max_unstable  ... bench:     635,435 ns/iter (+/- 9,683)
test sort          ... bench:  62,585,547 ns/iter (+/- 1,361,258)
test sort_unstable ... bench:  34,595,265 ns/iter (+/- 739,255)
