Description

Similar to the set of par_sort slice methods, par_select_nth methods matching the respective (unstable) slice methods of the standard library would be extremely useful. See: https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/std/primitive.slice.html#method.select_nth_unstable

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement parallel selection algorithm by adapting the sequential select nth unstable; consider using divide and conquer with Rayon's join or par iter.
