### Test code
~~~
require 'benchmark'

Benchmark.bmbm do |x|

  enum = (1..1000).to_a.each

  x.report "sort_by" do
    10000.times do
      enum.sort_by { |a| a }
    end
  end

  x.report "min_by(n)" do
    20000.times do
      enum.min_by(2) { |a| a }
    end
  end

  x.report "min_by" do
    20000.times do
      enum.min_by { |a| a }
    end
  end

  x.report "max_by(n)" do
    10000.times do
      enum.max_by(2) { |a| a }
    end
  end

  x.report "max_by" do
    20000.times do
      enum.max_by { |a| a }
    end
  end

  x.report "minmax_by" do
    20000.times do
      enum.minmax_by { |a| a }
    end
  end
