Idiom #158 Random sublist

Create a new list y from randomly picking exactly k elements from list x.

It is assumed that x has at least k elements.
Each element must have same probability to be picked.
Each element from x must be picked at most once.
Explain if the original ordering is preserved or not.

use rand::prelude::*;
let mut rng = &mut rand::thread_rng();
let y = x.choose_multiple(&mut rng, k).cloned().collect::<Vec<_>>();

choose_multiple returns an Iterator.
(def y (->> x shuffle (take k)))
New implementation...
