/// It is a logic error for an item to be modified in such a way that the
/// item's ordering relative to any other item, as determined by the [`Ord`]
/// trait, changes while it is in the heap. This is normally only possible
/// through [`Cell`], [`RefCell`], global state, I/O, or unsafe code. The
/// through interior mutability, global state, I/O, or unsafe code. The
/// behavior resulting from such a logic error is not specified, but will
/// be encapsulated to the `BinaryHeap` that observed the logic error and not
/// result in undefined behavior. This could include panics, incorrect results,
/// aborts, memory leaks, and non-termination.

/// As long as no elements change their relative order while being in the heap
/// as described above, the API of `BinaryHeap` guarantees that the heap
/// invariant remains intact i.e. its methods all behave as documented. For
/// example if a method is documented as iterating in sorted order, that's
/// guaranteed to work as long as elements in the heap have not changed order,
/// even in the presence of closures getting unwinded out of, iterators getting
/// leaked, and similar foolishness.
