        If `a = [10, 20, 30]` and `b = [40, 6, 15]`, then
        `completeSort(a, b)` leaves `a = [6, 10, 15]` and `b = [20, 30, 40]`.
        The range `a` must be sorted prior to the call, and as a result the
        combination `$(REF chain, std,range)(a, b)` is sorted.)
$(T2 isPartitioned,
        `isPartitioned!"a < 0"([-1, -2, 1, 0, 2])` returns `true` because
        the predicate is `true` for a portion of the range and `false`
        afterwards.)
$(T2 isSorted,
        `isSorted([1, 1, 2, 3])` returns `true`.)
$(T2 isStrictlyMonotonic,
        `isStrictlyMonotonic([1, 1, 2, 3])` returns `false`.)
$(T2 ordered,
        `ordered(1, 1, 2, 3)` returns `true`.)
$(T2 strictlyOrdered,
        `strictlyOrdered(1, 1, 2, 3)` returns `false`.)
$(T2 makeIndex,
        Creates a separate index for a range.)
$(T2 merge,
        Lazily merges two or more sorted ranges.)
$(T2 multiSort,

        in-place.)
$(T2 nextPermutation,
        Computes the next lexicographically greater permutation of a range
        in-place.)
$(T2 partialSort,
        If `a = [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]`, then `partialSort(a, 3)` leaves
        `a[0 .. 3] = [1, 2, 3]`.
        The other elements of `a` are left in an unspecified order.)
$(T2 partition,
        Partitions a range according to a unary predicate.)
$(T2 partition3,
        Partitions a range according to a binary predicate in three parts (less
        than, equal, greater than the given pivot). Pivot is not given as an
        index, but instead as an element independent from the range's content.)
$(T2 pivotPartition,
        Partitions a range according to a binary predicate in two parts: less
        than or equal, and greater than or equal to the given pivot, passed as
        an index in the range.)

incorrect and will cause failed assertions.

Like `isSorted`, returns `true` if the given `values` are ordered

directly instead of structured in a range.

`ordered` allows repeated values, e.g. `ordered(1, 1, 2)` is `true`. To verify
that the values are ordered strictly monotonically, use `strictlyOrdered`;
`strictlyOrdered(1, 1, 2)` is `false`.

With either function, the predicate must be a strict ordering. For example,
using `"a <= b"` instead of `"a < b"` is incorrect and will cause failed
assertions.

/**
Partitions a range in two using the given `predicate`.
Specifically, reorders the range `r = [left, right$(RPAREN)` using `swap`
such that all elements `i` for which `predicate(i)` is `true` come
before all elements `j` for which `predicate(j)` returns `false`.

Performs $(BIGOH r.length) (if unstable or semistable) or $(BIGOH
r.length * log(r.length)) (if stable) evaluations of `less` and $(D
swap). The unstable version computes the minimum possible evaluations
of `swap` (roughly half of those performed by the semistable
version).

Params:
    predicate = The predicate to partition by.
    ss = The swapping strategy to employ.
    r = The random-access range to partition.

Returns:

The right part of `r` after partitioning.

If `ss == SwapStrategy.stable`, `partition` preserves the relative
ordering of all elements `a`, `b` in `r` for which `predicate(a) =$D(
predicate(b)). If `ss == SwapStrategy.semistable`, `partition` preserves
the relative ordering of all elements `a`, `b` in the left part of `r`

r[k])) (i.e. `r[k]` is less than or equal to each element to its right
according to predicate `less`)))

If `r` contains equivalent elements, multiple permutations of `r` satisfy these
constraints. In such cases, `pivotPartition` attempts to distribute equivalent
elements fairly to the left and right of `k` such that `k` stays close to  $(D
r.length / 2).

Params:
less = The predicate used for comparison, modeled as a
        $(LINK2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_ordering#Strict_weak_orderings,
        strict weak ordering) (irreflexive, antisymmetric, transitive, and implying a transitive
        equivalence)
r = The range being partitioned
pivot = The index of the pivot for partitioning, must be less than `r.length` or
`0` is `r.length` is `0`

Returns:
The new position of the pivot

// makeIndex
/**
Computes an index for `r` based on the comparison `less`. The
index is a sorted array of pointers or indices into the original
range. This technique is similar to sorting, but it is more flexible
because (1) it allows "sorting" of immutable collections, (2) allows
binary search even if the original collection does not offer random
access, (3) allows multiple indexes, each on a different predicate,
and (4) may be faster when dealing with large objects. However, using
an index may also be slower under certain circumstances due to the
extra indirection, and is always larger than a sorting-based solution
because it needs space for the index in addition to the original
collection. The complexity is the same as `sort`'s.

The first overload of `makeIndex` writes to a range containing
pointers, and the second writes to a range containing offsets. The
first overload requires `Range` to be a
$(REF_ALTTEXT forward range, isForwardRange, std,range,primitives), and the
latter requires it to be a random-access range.

`makeIndex` overwrites its second argument with the result, but
never reallocates it.

Params:
    less = The comparison to use.
    ss = The swapping strategy.
    r = The range to index.
    index = The resulting index.

Returns: The pointer-based version returns a `SortedRange` wrapper
over index, of type `SortedRange!(RangeIndex, (a, b) =$D(
binaryFun!less(*a, *b))) thus reflecting the ordering of the
index. The index-based version returns `void` because the ordering
relation involves not only `index` but also `r`.

Throws: If the second argument's length is less than that of the range
indexed, an exception is thrown.

/**
   Merge multiple sorted ranges `rs` with less-than predicate function `pred`
   into one single sorted output range containing the sorted union of the
   elements of inputs. Duplicates are not eliminated, meaning that the total
   number of elements in the output is the sum of all elements in the ranges
   passed to it; the `length` member is offered if all inputs also have
   `length`. The element types of all the inputs must have a common type
   `CommonType`.

Params:
    less = Predicate the given ranges are sorted by.
    rs = The ranges to compute the union for.

Returns:
    A range containing the union of the given ranges.

Details:

All of its inputs are assumed to be sorted. This can mean that inputs are
   instances of $(REF SortedRange, std,range). Use the result of $(REF sort,
   std,algorithm,sorting), or $(REF assumeSorted, std,range) to merge ranges
   known to be sorted (show in the example below). Note that there is currently
   no way of ensuring that two or more instances of $(REF SortedRange,
   std,range) are sorted using a specific comparison function `pred`. Therefore
   no checking is done here to assure that all inputs `rs` are instances of
   $(REF SortedRange, std,range).

   This algorithm is lazy, doing work progressively as elements are pulled off
   the result.

   Time complexity is proportional to the sum of element counts over all inputs.

   If all inputs have the same element type and offer it by `ref`, output
   becomes a range with mutable `front` (and `back` where appropriate) that
   reflects in the original inputs.

   If any of the inputs `rs` is infinite so is the result (`empty` being always
   `false`).

// sort
/**
Sorts a random-access range according to the predicate `less`. Performs
$(BIGOH r.length * log(r.length)) evaluations of `less`. If `less` involves
expensive computations on the _sort key, it may be worthwhile to use
$(LREF schwartzSort) instead.

Stable sorting requires `hasAssignableElements!Range` to be true.

`sort` returns a $(REF SortedRange, std,range) over the original range,
allowing functions that can take advantage of sorted data to know that the
range is sorted and adjust accordingly. The $(REF SortedRange, std,range) is a
wrapper around the original range, so both it and the original range are sorted.
Other functions can't know that the original range has been sorted, but
they $(I can) know that $(REF SortedRange, std,range) has been sorted.

Preconditions:

The predicate is expected to satisfy certain rules in order for `sort` to
behave as expected - otherwise, the program may fail on certain inputs (but not
others) when not compiled in release mode, due to the cursory `assumeSorted`
check. Specifically, `sort` expects `less(a,b) && less(b,c)` to imply
`less(a,c)` (transitivity), and, conversely, `!less(a,b) && !less(b,c)` to
imply `!less(a,c)`. Note that the default predicate (`"a < b"`) does not
always satisfy these conditions for floating point types, because the expression
will always be `false` when either `a` or `b` is NaN.
Use $(REF cmp, std,math) instead.

Params:
    less = The predicate to sort by.
    ss = The swapping strategy to use.
    r = The range to sort.

Returns: The initial range wrapped as a `SortedRange` with the predicate
`binaryFun!less`.

Algorithms: $(HTTP en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introsort, Introsort) is used for unstable sorting and
$(HTTP en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort, Timsort) is used for stable sorting.
Each algorithm has benefits beyond stability. Introsort is generally faster but
Timsort may achieve greater speeds on data with low entropy or if predicate calls
are expensive. Introsort performs no allocations whereas Timsort will perform one
or more allocations per call. Both algorithms have $(BIGOH n log n) worst-case
time complexity.

// schwartzSort
/**
Alternative sorting method that should be used when comparing keys involves an
expensive computation. Instead of using `less(a, b)` for comparing elements,
`schwartzSort` uses `less(transform(a), transform(b))`. The values of the
`transform` function are precomputed in a temporary array, thus saving on
repeatedly computing it. Conversely, if the cost of `transform` is small
compared to the cost of allocating and filling the precomputed array, `sort`
may be faster and therefore preferable.

This approach to sorting is akin to the $(HTTP
wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwartzian_transform, Schwartzian transform), also known as
the decorate-sort-undecorate pattern in Python and Lisp. The complexity is the
same as that of the corresponding `sort`, but `schwartzSort` evaluates
`transform` only `r.length` times (less than half when compared to regular
sorting). The usage can be best illustrated with an example.

Example:
----
uint hashFun(string) { ... expensive computation ... }
string[] array = ...;
// Sort strings by hash, slow
sort!((a, b) => hashFun(a) < hashFun(b))(array);
// Sort strings by hash, fast (only computes arr.length hashes):
schwartzSort!(hashFun, "a < b")(array);
----

The `schwartzSort` function might require less temporary data and
be faster than the Perl idiom or the decorate-sort-undecorate idiom
present in Python and Lisp. This is because sorting is done in-place
and only minimal extra data (one array of transformed elements) is
created.

To check whether an array was sorted and benefit of the speedup of
Schwartz sorting, a function `schwartzIsSorted` is not provided
because the effect can be achieved by calling $(D
isSorted!less(map!transform(r))).

Params:
    transform = The transformation to apply.
    less = The predicate to sort by.
    ss = The swapping strategy to use.
    r = The range to sort.

Returns: The initial range wrapped as a `SortedRange` with the
predicate `(a, b) => binaryFun!less(transform(a)$D(
transform(b))).

/*
Private for the time being.

Computes the median of 2 to 5 arbitrary indexes in random-access range `r`

behavior is implementation-defined). The function also partitions the elements

flag = Used only for even values of `T.length`. If `No.leanRight`, the median
"leans left", meaning `medianOf(r, a, b, c, d)` puts the lower median of the
four in `r[b]`, the minimum in `r[a]`, and the two others in `r[c]` and `r[d]`.
Conversely, `median!("a < b", Yes.leanRight)(r, a, b, c, d)` puts the upper
median of the four in `r[c]`, the maximum in `r[d]`, and the two others in
`r[a]` and `r[b]`.

 * is permuted back to the least even permutation and false is returned.
 * Otherwise, true is returned, and the range is modified in-place to be the

 * nextEvenPermutation on this first odd permutation will generate the next
