/* Written in December 1998 by Roland Orre <orre@nada.kth.se>
 * This implements the same sort interface as slib/sort.scm
 * for lists and vectors where slib defines:
 * sorted?, merge, merge!, sort, sort!
 * For scsh compatibility sort-list and sort-list! are also defined.
 * In cases where a stable-sort is required use stable-sort or
 * stable-sort!.  An additional feature is
 * (restricted-vector-sort! vector less? startpos endpos)
 * which allows you to sort part of a vector.
 * Thanks to Aubrey Jaffer for the slib/sort.scm library.
 * Thanks to Richard A. O'Keefe (based on Prolog code by D.H.D.Warren)
 * for the merge sort inspiration.
 * Thanks to Douglas C. Schmidt (schmidt@ics.uci.edu) for the
 * quicksort code.

/* Order size using quicksort.  This implementation incorporates
   four optimizations discussed in Sedgewick:

   1. Non-recursive, using an explicit stack of pointer that store the
   next array partition to sort.  To save time, this maximum amount
   of space required to store an array of MAX_INT is allocated on the
   stack.  Assuming a 32-bit integer, this needs only 32 *
   sizeof(stack_node) == 136 bits.  Pretty cheap, actually.

   2. Chose the pivot element using a median-of-three decision tree.
   This reduces the probability of selecting a bad pivot value and
   eliminates certain extraneous comparisons.

   3. Only quicksorts TOTAL_ELEMS / MAX_THRESH partitions, leaving
   insertion sort to order the MAX_THRESH items within each partition.
   This is a big win, since insertion sort is faster for small, mostly
   sorted array segments.

   4. The larger of the two sub-partitions is always pushed onto the
   stack first, with the algorithm then concentrating on the
   smaller partition.  This *guarantees* no more than log (n)
   stack size is needed (actually O(1) in this case)!  */
