shuffle an array of elements

shoveit
=======

Take an array of elements that have either `points` or `ranges`
defined, and shove them into an array of arrays where the elements
`ranges` and `points` do not overlap. Here an visualization of the
idea:

    -aaa----------
    -------bbbbb--
    --cccc--------
    ----d---dd----
    ----e-------e-

    =>

    -aaae--bbbbbe-
    --cccc--------
    ----d---dd----


    var array = [{
        name: 'a',
        range: [2, 4]
    }, {
        name: 'b',
        range: [8, 12]
    }, {
        name: 'c',
        range: [3, 6]
    }, {
        name: 'd',
        points: [5, 9,10]
    }];

    console.log(shove(array));

    [ [ { name: 'a', range: [Object] },
        { name: 'b', range: [Object] } ],
      [ { name: 'c', range: [Object] },
        { name: 'd', points: [Object] } ] ]

The algorithm is not that smart so it wont always get the optimal
shuffle, but thats okay.
