/* 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.
     STATIC_FROMTO  (Optional.) Overrides STATIC for the 'merge_sort_fromto'
                    function.
   Before including this file, you also need to include:
     #include <stddef.h>
