/*
 * Places the `k` smallest elements in `array` in the first `k` indices: `[0..k-1]`
 * Modifies the passed in array *in place*
 * Returns a slice of the wanted elements for convenience
 * Efficient mainly because it never performs a full sort.
 *
 * The only guarantees are that:
 *
 * - The `k`th element is in its final sort index (if the array were to be sorted)
 * - All elements before index `k` are smaller than the `k`th element
