Documented in mutation_best

#' /best mutation for DE
#' 
#' Implements the "/best/nvecs" mutation for the ExpDE framework
#' 
#' @section Mutation Parameters:
#' The \code{mutpars} parameter contains all parameters required to define the 
#' mutation. \code{mutation_best()} understands the following fields in 
#' \code{mutpars}:
#' \itemize{
#'    \item \code{f} : scaling factor for difference vector(s).\cr
#'    Accepts numeric vectors of size 1 or \code{nvecs}.
#'    \item \code{nvecs} : number of difference vectors to use.\cr 
#'        Accepts \code{1 <= nvecs <= (nrow(X)/2 - 2)}\cr
#'        Defaults to 1.
#' }
#' 
#' @section Warning:
#' This routine will search for the performance vector 
#' of population \code{X} (\code{J}) in the parent environment (using 
#' \code{parent.frame()}. This variable must be defined for 
#' \code{mutation_best()} to work. 
#' 
#' @param X population matrix
#' @param mutpars mutation parameters (see \code{Mutation parameters} for details)
#' 
#' @return Matrix \code{M} containing the mutated population
