I see Sort.sort is really Sort.quicksort. I think Java and Python have
both agreed Modified Timsort beats both Quicksort and Merge Sort for
speed, accuracy and stability. Is anyone adding an implementation?

I also see that Sort.quicksort is explicitly stated as being sequential
(which it is), Merge Sort can be parallelised. I need to find out about
Modified Timsort and whether there is a parallel version.
