/* Heap
* This is a heap implementation with slice backing.
* The less function is used to compare elements.
* The heap is a complete binary tree, which means:
* - All levels are filled except possibly for the last level.
* - The last level is filled as much as possible from left to right.
*
* This binary tree also should satisfy the heap property (we use min-heap here):
* - The smallest element is at the root
* - The value of each node is less than or equal to the values of its children
*
* To implement a heap, we use a slice to store the elements with these rules:
* - Root is at 0
* - Left child of node at index i is at 2*i+1
* - Right child of node at index i is at 2*i+2
* - Parent of node at index i is at (i-1)/2
* For example, if we insert: 2, 0, 7, 4, 3, 6, 9
* The heap will look like this:
* i: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
* [ 0, 2, 6, 4, 3, 7, 9 ]
* And the effective binary tree looks like this:
* 0
* / \
* 2 6
* / \ / \
* 4 3 7 9
* So the root is at index [0],
* the children of [0] art at 2*0+1 = [1] and 2*0+2 = [2]
* The parent of [1] is at (1-1)/2 = [0],
* and the parent of [2] is at (2-1)/2 = [0]
* The children of [1] are at 2*1+1 = [3] and 2*1+2 = [4]
* The parent of [3] is at (3-1)/2 = [1],
* and the parent of [4] is at (4-1)/2 = [1]
* The children of [2] are at 2*2+1 = [5] and 2*2+2 = [6]
* The parent of [5] is at (5-1)/2 = [2],
* and the parent of [6] is at (6-1)/2 = [2]
* Thanks to insomnes (https://github.com/insomnes) for this.
