// Binary heap implementation optimized for use in multi-way merge sort.
// Comparison to std::priority_queue:
// - In libstdc++, std::priority_queue::pop() usually performs just over logN
//   comparisons but never fewer.
// - std::priority_queue does not have a replace-top operation, requiring a
//   pop+push.  If the replacement element is the new top, this requires
//   around 2logN comparisons.
// - This heap's pop() uses a "schoolbook" downheap which requires up to ~2logN
//   comparisons.
// - This heap provides a replace_top() operation which requires [1, 2logN]
//   comparisons.  When the replacement element is also the new top, this
//   takes just 1 or 2 comparisons.
//
// The last property can yield an order-of-magnitude performance improvement
// when merge-sorting real-world non-random data.  If the merge operation is
// likely to take chunks of elements from the same input stream, only 1
// comparison per element is needed.  In RocksDB-land, this happens when
// compacting a database where keys are not randomly distributed across L0
// files but nearby keys are likely to be in the same L0 file.
//
// The container uses the same counterintuitive ordering as
// std::priority_queue: the comparison operator is expected to provide the
// less-than relation, but top() will return the maximum.
