Hi Ian,

Thank you for your review.

The current min_heap test is sufficient to cover all the code changes
introduced by this patch series, even when only tested with a known
set of values copied from the data.

Additionally, I'm unsure if the commit message title prefix I used is
correct. Perhaps I should use "lib:" instead of "min_heap:"?

Best regards,
