    This code originally contributed to the nhc12 compiler by Thomas Nordin

        http://www.mail-archive.com/haskell@haskell.org/msg01822.html
    and possibly to bear similarities to a 1982 paper by Richard O'Keefe:
    "A smooth applicative merge sort".

    Benchmarks show it to be often 2x the speed of the previous implementation.

    From: Ian Lynagh <igloo@earth.li>

    I am curious as to why the List.sort implementation in GHC is a
    quicksort algorithm rather than an algorithm that guarantees n log n
    time in the worst case? I have attached a mergesort implementation along
    with a few scripts to time it's performance, the results of which are
    shown below (* means it didn't finish successfully - in all cases this
    was due to a stack overflow).

    If I heap profile the random_list case with only 10000 then I see
    random_list peaks at using about 2.5M of memory, whereas in the same
    program using List.sort it uses only 100k.
