/* 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.
