Release notes:

New Release
`avl.include`, `skew.include` and `binary.include` can simply append a new value into a skew or binary heap with the new two-argument mode. Just pass the structure and the value to be appended, for example with binary heaps.
`binary.entries` and `binary.iterate` have been fixed as they did not correctly traverse all tuples in a binary heap. The functions now also return the key-value pairs in the same order as `binary.remove` does.
New `binary.explore` returns the internal structure of a binary heap and returns a table with all its levels in various subtables. With the heap created above
