=begin
 We are planning to add the following features of the random sampling to Array.
 
 1. Weighted random sampling.
 2. Sampling with replacement.
 3. Iteration.
 
 It is discussed in ruby-dev (Feature #3647 and #4147).
 
 
 API will be:
 
 Array#sample([size, [opt]])
   - Random selection without replacement.
   - Returns a new array when size is specified.
   - opt:
       weight: proc or array
       random: Random instance
 
 Array#choice([size, [opt]])
   - Random selection with replacement.
   - Returns a new array when size is specified.
   - opt: same as above.
 
 Array#each_sample([opt])
   - Random selection iterator without replacement.
   - Choose a random element and yield it.
   - Returns an Enumerator if a block is not given.
   - opt: same as above.
 
 Array#each_choice([opt])
   - Random selection iterator with replacement.
   - Choose a random element and yield it.
   - Returns an Enumerator if a block is not given.
   - opt: same as above.
