Example of [NSIndexSet indexLessThanOrEqualToIndex].

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface NSMutableIndexSet (oneTime)
-(NSUInteger)oneTimeRandomIndex;
//returns one index from set at random, removing the index from the set so that it won't be returned again.
//As the index set is mutable indexes maybe re-added to the set to become re-eligsble for return by this method.
//Will return NSNotFound if NSMutableIndexSet is empty.
