/**
 * An accumulator that selects the "top" {@code k} elements added to it, relative to a provided
 * comparator. "Top" can mean the greatest or the lowest elements, specified in the factory used to
 * create the {@code TopKSelector} instance.
 *
 * <p>If your input data is available as an {@link Iterable} or {@link Iterator}, prefer {@link
 * Ordering#leastOf(Iterable, int)}, which provides the same implementation with an interface
 * tailored to that use case.
 *
 * <p>This uses the same efficient implementation as {@link Ordering#leastOf(Iterable, int)},
 * offering expected O(n + k log k) performance (worst case O(n log k)) for n calls to {@link
 * #offer} and a call to {@link #topK}, with O(k) memory. In comparison, quickselect has the same
 * asymptotics but requires O(n) memory, and a {@code PriorityQueue} implementation takes O(n log
 * k). In benchmarks, this implementation performs at least as well as either implementation, and
 * degrades more gracefully for worst-case input.
 *
 * <p>The implementation does not necessarily use a <i>stable</i> sorting algorithm; when multiple
 * equivalent elements are added to it, it is undefined which will come first in the output.
