  67 /* Order size using quicksort.  This implementation incorporates
  68    four optimizations discussed in Sedgewick:
  69
  70    1. Non-recursive, using an explicit stack of pointer that store the
  71       next array partition to sort.  To save time, this maximum amount
  72       of space required to store an array of SIZE_MAX is allocated on the
  73       stack.  Assuming a 32-bit (64 bit) integer for size_t, this needs
  74       only 32 * sizeof(stack_node) == 256 bytes (for 64 bit: 1024 bytes).
  75       Pretty cheap, actually.
  76
  77    2. Chose the pivot element using a median-of-three decision tree.
  78       This reduces the probability of selecting a bad pivot value and
  79       eliminates certain extraneous comparisons.
  80
  81    3. Only quicksorts TOTAL_ELEMS / MAX_THRESH partitions, leaving
  82       insertion sort to order the MAX_THRESH items within each partition.
  83       This is a big win, since insertion sort is faster for small, mostly
  84       sorted array segments.
  85
  86    4. The larger of the two sub-partitions is always pushed onto the
  87       stack first, with the algorithm then concentrating on the
  88       smaller partition.  This *guarantees* no more than log (total_elems)
  89       stack size is needed (actually O(1) in this case)!  */
