/// A distribution using weighted sampling to pick a discretely selected item.
///
/// Sampling a [`WeightedIndex<W>`] distribution returns the index of a randomly
/// selected element from the vector used to create the [`WeightedIndex<W>`].
/// The chance of a given element being picked is proportional to the value of
/// the element. The weights can have any type `W` for which a implementation of
/// [`Weight`] exists.
///
/// # Performance
///
/// Given that `n` is the number of items in the vector used to create an
/// [`WeightedIndex<W>`], [`WeightedIndex<W>`] will require `O(n)` amount of
/// memory. More specifically it takes up some constant amount of memory plus
/// the vector used to create it and a [`Vec<u32>`] with capacity `n`.
///
/// Time complexity for the creation of a [`WeightedIndex<W>`] is `O(n)`.
/// Sampling is `O(1)`, it makes a call to [`Uniform<u32>::sample`] and a call
/// to [`Uniform<W>::sample`].
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use rand::distributions::weighted::alias_method::WeightedIndex;
/// use rand::prelude::*;
///
/// let choices = vec!['a', 'b', 'c'];
/// let weights = vec![2, 1, 1];
/// let dist = WeightedIndex::new(weights).unwrap();
/// let mut rng = thread_rng();
/// for _ in 0..100 {
///     // 50% chance to print 'a', 25% chance to print 'b', 25% chance to print 'c'
///     println!("{}", choices[dist.sample(&mut rng)]);
/// }
///
/// let items = [('a', 0), ('b', 3), ('c', 7)];
/// let dist2 = WeightedIndex::new(items.iter().map(|item| item.1).collect()).unwrap();
/// for _ in 0..100 {
///     // 0% chance to print 'a', 30% chance to print 'b', 70% chance to print 'c'
