// This simple class finds the top n elements of an incrementally provided set
// of elements which you push one at a time.  If the number of elements exceeds
// n, the lowest elements are incrementally dropped.  At the end you get
// a vector of the top elements sorted in descending order (through Extract() or
// ExtractNondestructive()), or a vector of the top elements but not sorted
// (through ExtractUnsorted() or ExtractUnsortedNondestructive()).
//
// The value n is specified in the constructor.  If there are p elements pushed
// altogether:
//   The total storage requirements are O(min(n, p)) elements
//   The running time is O(p * log(min(n, p))) comparisons
// If n is a constant, the total storage required is a constant and the running
// time is linear in p.
//
// NOTE(zhifengc): There is a way to do this in O(min(n, p)) storage and O(p)
// runtime. The basic idea is to repeatedly fill up a buffer of 2 * n elements,
// discarding the lowest n elements whenever the buffer is full using a linear-
// time median algorithm. This may have better performance when the input
// sequence is partially sorted.
//
// NOTE(zhifengc): This class should be redesigned to avoid reallocating a
// vector for each Extract.
