Better random.sample()?
"""
Would this make a better random.sample() function for the Python
standard library? Robert Floyd's algorithm as presented in Jon
Bentley, "A Sample of Brilliance".
Answer: no, it's slower; somewhat slower even if you tune it.
I tried a few different test cases -- both small and large
result lists. I'd expect it to use much less memory in some cases,
but my flailings turned up no case where that seemed to matter.
