  selectors.h
    A bunch of useful selector functions. They generally have three forms:

    template <class It>
    It select(It begin, It end, params, eoRng& gen = rng);

    template <class EOT>
    const EOT& select(const eoPop<EOT>& pop, params, eoRng& gen = rng);

    template <class EOT>
    EOT& select(eoPop<EOT>& pop, params, eoRng& gen = rng);

    where select is one of: roulette_wheel, deterministic_tournament
    and stochastic_tournament (at the moment).
