The implementation of shuffle is a pure function, so it returns a new array instead of shuffling the input in place.

### shuffle
Randomizes the order of the values of an array, returning a new array.
Uses the Fisher-Yates algoritm to reorder the elements of the array, based on the [Lodash implementation](https://github.com/lodash/lodash/blob/b2ea6b1cd251796dcb5f9700c4911a7b6223920b/shuffle.js), but as a pure function.
```js
const shuffle = ([...arr]) => {
let m = arr.length;
while (m) {
const i = Math.floor(Math.random() * m--);
[arr[m], arr[i]] = [arr[i], arr[m]];
}
return arr;
};
// shuffle([1,2,3]) -> [2,3,1]
```
