22/* Written in December 1998 by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>
23 * This implements the same sort interface as slib/sort.scm
24 * for lists and vectors where slib defines:
25 * sorted?, merge, merge!, sort, sort!
15d9c4e3 26 * For scsh compatibility sort-list and sort-list! are also defined.
54e09076 27 * In cases where a stable-sort is required use stable-sort or
15d9c4e3 28 * stable-sort!. An additional feature is
54e09076 29 * (restricted-vector-sort! vector less? startpos endpos)
15d9c4e3 30 * which allows you to sort part of a vector.
54e09076

31 * Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer for the slib/sort.scm library.
32 * Thanks to Richard A. O'Keefe (based on Prolog code by D.H.D.Warren)
33 * for the merge sort inspiration.
34 * Thanks to Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@ics.uci.edu) for the
35 * quicksort code.
