--   This module provides commonly used piece seletion algorithms
--   which used to find out which one next piece to download.
--   Selectors considered to be used in the following order:
--
--     * Random first or rarest first selection - at the start.
--
--     * Rarest first selection - performed to avoid situation when
--     rarest piece is unaccessible.
--
--     * _End game_ seletion - performed after a peer has requested all
--     the subpieces of the content.
--
--   Note that BitTorrent applies the strict priority policy for
--   _subpiece_ or _blocks_ selection.
