//! Key-value ordered skip map.
//!
//! [`SkipMap`] maintains **unique** key-value pairs sorted by key according to
//! a [`Comparator<K>`].  Insert, lookup, and remove are `$O(\log n)$` on average.
//! Inserting a key that already exists replaces the existing value and returns
//! the old one, identical to [`BTreeMap`] semantics.
//!
//! Values can be mutated in place (via [`get_mut`]) because changing a value
//! does not affect key order.
//!
//! The key ordering is parameterised by `C: Comparator<K>` so that custom
//! orderings can be used without requiring [`Ord`] on the key type.
//!
//! # Key Invariants
//!
//! - Each key appears at most once.
//! - Keys are always stored in sorted order.
//! - Values may be mutated in place; keys may not.
//!
//! # Intentional Omissions
//!
//! - **No `keys_mut` or `IterMut` over keys.**  Exposing mutable key
//!   references would allow callers to break the sorted invariant without
//!   reinserting.
//!
//! # Method Summary
//!
//! **Constructors:** [`new`], [`with_level_generator`], [`with_comparator`],
//!   [`with_comparator_and_level_generator`].
//!
//! **Access:** [`get`], [`get_mut`], [`get_key_value`], [`get_by_index`],
//!   [`contains_key`], [`first_key_value`], [`last_key_value`], [`rank`],
//!   [`comparator`], [`entry`].
//!
//! **Insertion:** [`insert`], [`merge`].
//!
//! **Removal:** [`remove`], [`remove_entry`], [`pop_first`], [`pop_last`],
//!   [`retain`], [`drain`], [`extract_if`].
//!
//! **Structural:** [`len`], [`is_empty`], [`clear`], [`split_off`], [`append`].
//!
//! **Iteration:** [`iter`], [`iter_mut`], [`keys`], [`values`], [`values_mut`],
//!   [`into_keys`], [`into_values`], [`into_iter`].
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! use skiplist::SkipMap;
//!
//! let mut map = SkipMap::<&str, usize>::new();
//!
//! // Inserting new keys returns None.
//! assert_eq!(map.insert("banana", 2), None);
//! assert_eq!(map.insert("apple",  1), None);
//! assert_eq!(map.insert("cherry", 3), None);
//!
//! // Inserting a duplicate key replaces the value and returns the old one.
//! assert_eq!(map.insert("apple", 10), Some(1));
//!
//! // Lookup by key.
//! assert_eq!(map.get(&"apple"), Some(&10));
//!
//! // Iteration is in sorted key order.
//! let pairs: Vec<_> = map.iter().map(|(k, v)| (*k, *v)).collect();
//! assert_eq!(pairs, [("apple", 10), ("banana", 2), ("cherry", 3)]);
