/// ### What it does
/// When sorting primitive values (integers, bools, chars, as well
/// as arrays, slices, and tuples of such items), it is better to
/// use an unstable sort than a stable sort.
///
/// ### Why is this bad?
/// Using a stable sort consumes more memory and cpu cycles. Because
/// values which compare equal are identical, preserving their
/// relative order (the guarantee that a stable sort provides) means
/// nothing, while the extra costs still apply.
///
/// ### Example
/// ```rust
/// let mut vec = vec![2, 1, 3];
/// vec.sort();
/// ```
/// Use instead:
/// ```rust
/// let mut vec = vec![2, 1, 3];
/// vec.sort_unstable();
/// ```
