> The same way we improved IntroSorter, we can improve IntroSelector with 
> Bentley-McIlroy 3-way partitioning. The gain in performance is roughly the 
> same.
> With this new approach, we always use medians-of-medians (Tukey's Ninther), 
> so there is no real gain to fallback to a slower medians-of-medians technique 
> as an introspective protection (like the existing implementation does). 
> Instead we can simply shuffle the sub-range if we exceed the recursive max 
> depth (this does not change the speed as this intro-protective mechanism 
> almost never happens - maybe only in adversarial cases).
