What the...?

Oh, I see. It uses another package to handle the tricky sorting and 
searching stuff. Well, yeah, that would make the code a bit shorter... ;-)

Even so, it's not nearly as elegant to behold as, say, the quicksort 
algorithm, despite being of roughly similar complexity. Still, it's 
shorter than what I had.
