find new indices.
* `table.key_value_swap(t)`: returns a table with keys and values swapped
* If multiple keys in `t` map to the same value, the result is undefined.
* `table.shuffle(table, [from], [to], [random_func])`:
* Shuffles elements `from` to `to` in `table` in place
* `from` defaults to `1`
* `to` defaults to `#table`
* `random_func` defaults to `math.random`. This function receives two
integers as arguments and should return a random integer inclusively
between them.
* `minetest.pointed_thing_to_face_pos(placer, pointed_thing)`: returns a
position.
* returns the exact position on the surface of a pointed node
