These booleans are global constants, set by CPP flags.  They allow us to
recompile a single module (this one) to change whether or not debug output
appears. They sometimes let us avoid even running CPP elsewhere.

It's important that the flags are literal constants (True/False). Then,
with -0, tests of the flags in other modules will simplify to the correct
branch of the conditional, thereby dropping debug code altogether when
the flags are off.

Subject: natural merge sort beats quick sort [ and it is prettier ]

Here is a piece of Haskell code that I'm rather fond of. See it as an
attempt to get rid of the ridiculous quick-sort routine. group is
quite useful by itself I think it was John's idea originally though I
believe the lazy version is due to me [surprisingly complicated].
gamma [used to be called] is called gamma because I got inspired by
the Gamma calculus. It is not very close to the calculus but does
behave less sequentially than both foldr and foldl. One could imagine
a version of gamma that took a unit element as well thereby avoiding
the problem with empty lists.

I've tried this code against

   1) insertion sort - as provided by haskell
   2) the normal implementation of quick sort
   3) a deforested version of quick sort due to Jan Sparud
   4) a super-optimized-quick-sort of Lennart's

If the list is partially sorted both merge sort and in particular
natural merge sort wins. If the list is random [ average length of
rising subsequences = approx 2 ] mergesort still wins and natural
merge sort is marginally beaten by Lennart's soqs. The space
consumption of merge sort is a bit worse than Lennart's quick sort
approx a factor of 2. And a lot worse if Sparud's bug-fix [see his
fpca article ] isn't used because of group.
