+/// Rotates the range `[mid-left, mid+right)` such that the element at `mid` becomes the first
+/// element. Equivalently, rotates the range `left` elements to the left or `right` elements to the
+/// right.
+///
+/// # Safety
+///
+/// The specified range must be valid for reading and writing.
+///
+/// # Algorithm
+///
+/// Algorithm 1 is used for small values of `left + right` or for large `T`. The elements are moved
+/// into their final positions one at a time starting at `mid - left` and advancing by `right` steps
+/// modulo `left + right`, such that only one temporary is needed. Eventually, we arrive back at
+/// `mid - left`. However, if `gcd(left + right, right)` is not 1, the above steps skipped over
+/// elements. For example:
+/// ```text
+/// left = 10, right = 6
+/// the `^` indicates an element in its final place
+/// 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 . 0 1 2 3 4 5
+/// after using one step of the above algorithm (The X will be overwritten at the end of the round,
+/// and 12 is stored in a temporary):
+/// X 7 8 9 10 11 6 13 14 15 . 0 1 2 3 4 5
+/// ^
+/// after using another step (now 2 is in the temporary):
+/// X 7 8 9 10 11 6 13 14 15 . 0 1 12 3 4 5
+/// ^ ^
+/// after the third step (the steps wrap around, and 8 is in the temporary):
+/// X 7 2 9 10 11 6 13 14 15 . 0 1 12 3 4 5
+/// ^ ^ ^
+/// after 7 more steps, the round ends with the temporary 0 getting put in the X:
+/// 0 7 2 9 4 11 6 13 8 15 . 10 1 12 3 14 5
+/// ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
+/// ```
+/// Fortunately, the number of skipped over elements between finalized elements is always equal, so
+/// we can just offset our starting position and do more rounds (the total number of rounds is the
+/// `gcd(left + right, right)` value). The end result is that all elements are finalized once and
+/// only once.
+///
+/// Algorithm 2 is used if `left + right` is large but `min(left, right)` is small enough to
+/// fit onto a stack buffer. The `min(left, right)` elements are copied onto the buffer, `memmove`
+/// is applied to the others, and the ones on the buffer are moved back into the hole on the
+/// opposite side of where they originated.
+///
+/// Algorithms that can be vectorized outperform the above once `left + right` becomes large enough.
+/// Algorithm 1 can be vectorized by chunking and performing many rounds at once, but there are too
+/// few rounds on average until `left + right` is enormous, and the worst case of a single
+/// round is always there. Instead, algorithm 3 utilizes repeated swapping of
+/// `min(left, right)` elements until a smaller rotate problem is left.
+///
+/// ```text
+/// left = 11, right = 4
+/// [4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 . 0 1 2 3]
+/// ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ swapping the right most elements with elements to the left
+/// [4 5 6 7 8 9 10 . 0 1 2 3] 11 12 13 14
+/// ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ swapping these
+/// [4 5 6 . 0 1 2 3] 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
+/// we cannot swap any more, but a smaller rotation problem is left to solve
+/// ```
+/// when `left < right` the swapping happens from the left instead.
