+/* This file implements stable sorting of an array, using the mergesort
+ algorithm.
+ Worst-case running time for an array of length N is O(N log N).
+ Unlike the mpsort module, the algorithm here attempts to minimize not
+ only the number of comparisons, but also the number of copying operations.
+
+ Before including this file, you need to define
+ ELEMENT The type of every array element.
+ COMPARE A two-argument macro that takes two 'const ELEMENT *'
+ pointers and returns a negative, zero, or positive 'int'
+ value if the element pointed to by the first argument is,
+ respectively, less, equal, or greater than the element
+ pointed to by the second argument.
+ STATIC The storage class of the functions being defined.
+ Before including this file, you also need to include:
+ #include <stddef.h>
