   samplesort is basically quicksort on steroids:  a power of 2 close
   to n/ln(n) is computed, and that many elements (less 1) are picked at
   random from the array and sorted.  These 2**k - 1 elements are then
   used as preselected pivots for an equal number of quicksort
   partitioning steps, partitioning the slice into 2**k chunks each of
   size about ln(n).  These small final chunks are then usually handled
   by binarysort.  Note that when k=1, this is roughly the same as an
   ordinary quicksort using a random pivot, and when k=2 this is roughly
   a median-of-3 quicksort.  From that view, using k ~= lg(n/ln(n)) makes
   this a "median of n/ln(n)" quicksort.  You can also view it as a kind
   of bucket sort, where 2**k-1 bucket boundaries are picked dynamically.

   The large number of samples makes a quadratic-time case almost
   impossible, and asymptotically drives the average-case number of
   compares from quicksort's 2 N ln N (or 12/7 N ln N for the median-of-
   3 variant) down to N lg N.

   We also play lots of low-level tricks to cut the number of compares.
   
   Very obscure:  To avoid using extra memory, the PPs are stored in the
   array and shuffled around as partitioning proceeds.  At the start of a
   partitioning step, we'll have 2**m-1 (for some m) PPs in sorted order,
   adjacent (either on the left or the right!) to a chunk of X elements
   that are to be partitioned: P X or X P.  In either case we need to
   shuffle things *in place* so that the 2**(m-1) smaller PPs are on the
   left, followed by the PP to be used for this step (that's the middle
   of the PPs), followed by X, followed by the 2**(m-1) larger PPs:
       P X or X P -> Psmall pivot X Plarge
   and the order of the PPs must not be altered.  It can take a while
   to realize this isn't trivial!  It can take even longer <wink> to
   understand why the simple code below works, using only 2**(m-1) swaps.
   The key is that the order of the X elements isn't necessarily
   preserved:  X can end up as some cyclic permutation of its original
   order.  That's OK, because X is unsorted anyway.  If the order of X
   had to be preserved too, the simplest method I know of using O(1)
   scratch storage requires len(X) + 2**(m-1) swaps, spread over 2 passes.
   Since len(X) is typically several times larger than 2**(m-1), that
   would slow things down.
