# XXX Although the documentation says `population` is "a sequence",
# XXX attempts are made to cater to any iterable with a __len__
# XXX method. This has had mixed success. Examples from both
# XXX sides: sets work fine, and should become officially supported;
# XXX dicts are much harder, and have failed in various subtle
# XXX ways across attempts. Support for mapping types should probably
# XXX be dropped (and users should pass mapping.keys() or .values()
# XXX explicitly).
# Sampling without replacement entails tracking either potential
# selections (the pool) in a list or previous selections in a set.
