Comment:
I suspect that we would like this kind of functionality, if we can find a
good way to inherit it between all our array types. Or, better yet, if we
could find an intelligent and non-wasteful way to combine our array types,
and implement a single sort routine. In any case, I feel like all our
array types should either have built-in sort functionality or an easy way
to access it.
On another side note, because the Parrot_quicksort routine calls nested
runloops to call the comparison routines, there is a very real possibility
that an implementation in PIR could be faster than the current
implementation in C. I'll play with that as a possible alternative.
