  21 /* This implements a sort function suitable for GCC use cases:
  22    - signature-compatible to C qsort, but relaxed contract:
  23      - may apply the comparator to elements in a temporary buffer
  24      - may abort on allocation failure
  25    - deterministic (but not necessarily stable)
  26    - fast, especially for common cases (0-5 elements of size 8 or 4)
  27
  28    The implementation uses a network sort for up to 5 elements and
  29    a merge sort on top of that.  Neither stage has branches depending on
  30    comparator result, trading extra arithmetic for branch mispredictions.  */
