REVISION SUMMARY
  This is one of the two optimizations that are also
  present in the Python code: replacing pairs of pop/push
  on the BinaryHeap by single updates, hence having it
  under the hood maintain its consistency (sift) only once.
  
  On Mozilla central, the measured gain (see details below)
  is around 7%.
  
  Creating the PeekMut object by calling peek_mut() right away
  instead of peek() first is less efficient (gain is only 4%, stats
  not included).
  Our interpretation is that its creation has a cost which is vasted
  in the cases where it ends by droping the value (Peekmut::pop()
  just does self.heap.pop() anyway). On the other hand, the immutable
  peek() is very fast: it's just taking a reference in the
  underlying vector.
  
  The Python version still has another optimization:
  if parent(current) == current-1, then the heap doesn't need
  to maintain its consistency, since we already now that
  it's bigger than all the others in the heap.
  Rust's BinaryHeap doesn't allow us to mutate its biggest
  element with no housekeeping, but we tried it anyway, with a
  copy of the BinaryHeap implementation with a dedicaded added
  method: it's not worth the technical debt in our opinion
  (we measured only a further 1.6% improvement).
  One possible explanation would be that the sift is really fast
  anyway in that case, whereas it's not in the case of Python,
  because it's at least partly done in slow Python code.
  Still it's possible that replacing BinaryHeap by something more
  dedicated to discrete ordered types could be faster.
