--- Comment #1 from Conrad Meyer  ---
Yeah, agreed.

It looks like we're moving towards standardizing qsort_r on thunk-last (the
opposite of the current qsort_r), so that the non-thunk version can share code
with the thunk version.  See http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=900 and
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D9169 .  I'd add it similarly to mergesort.

Bug ID: 214248
   Summary: mergesort_r should exist
   Product: Base System
   Version: CURRENT
  Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
  Severity: Affects Only Me
  Priority: ---
 Component: bin
  Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
  Reporter: d...@yost.com

For the same reason that there is a qsort_r there should be a mergesort_r and
_r variants of the other sorts.

qsort_r is needed when using it from a foreign language like Swift. Mergesort
is superior in many respects but cannot be used because there is no
mergesort_r.
