The choices and sample functions currently take in NonEmptyList,
and result in RVar[Option[List]] as the final result. Because the
number of items to sample is provided as a positive integer, the
number may be larger or smaller than the input structure (the result is
a List).
Some uses have appeared where the user has a List structure and not
a NonEmptyList - base don the internal operation of the function,
this will not be problematic so a nicer alternative is to allow all
Foldable structures. Both NonEmptyList and List fulfil this
constraint and are now usable with the function.
