$(T2 completeSort,
        If $(D a = [10, 20, 30]) and $(D b = [40, 6, 15]), then
        $(D completeSort(a, b)) leaves $(D a = [6, 10, 15]) and $(D b = [20,
        30, 40]).
        The range $(D a) must be sorted prior to the call, and as a result the
        combination $(D $(XREF range,chain)(a, b)) is sorted.)
$(T2 isPartitioned,
        $(D isPartitioned!"a < 0"([-1, -2, 1, 0, 2])) returns $(D true) because
        the predicate is $(D true) for a portion of the range and $(D false)
        afterwards.)
$(T2 isSorted,
        $(D isSorted([1, 1, 2, 3])) returns $(D true).)
$(T2 makeIndex,
        Creates a separate index for a range.)
$(T2 multiSort,
        Sorts by multiple keys.)
$(T2 nextEvenPermutation,
        Computes the next lexicographically greater even permutation of a range
        in-place.)
$(T2 nextPermutation,
        Computes the next lexicographically greater permutation of a range
        in-place.)
$(T2 partialSort,
        If $(D a = [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]), then $(D partialSort(a, 3)) leaves
        $(D a[0 .. 3] = [1, 2, 3]).
        The other elements of $(D a) are left in an unspecified order.)
$(T2 partition,
        Partitions a range according to a predicate.)
$(T2 partition3,
        Partitions a range in three parts (less than, equal, greater than the
        given pivot).)
$(T2 schwartzSort,
        Sorts with the help of the $(LUCKY Schwartzian transform).)
$(T2 sort,
        Sorts.)

Like $(D isSorted), returns $(D true) if the given $(D values) are ordered

directly instead of structured in a range.

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

With either function, the predicate must be a strict ordering just like with $(D isSorted). For
example, using $(D "a <= b") instead of $(D "a < b") is incorrect and will cause failed
assertions.

Params:

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

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

Returns:

The right part of $(D r) after partitioning.

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

// makeIndex
/**
Computes an index for $(D r) based on the comparison $(D 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 $(D sort)'s.

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

$(D makeIndex) overwrites its second argument with the result, but
never reallocates it.

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

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

/**
Sorts a random-access range according to the predicate $(D less). Performs
$(BIGOH r.length * log(r.length)) evaluations of $(D less). Stable sorting
requires $(D hasAssignableElements!Range) to be true.

$(D sort) returns a $(XREF range, SortedRange) over the original range, which
functions that can take advantage of sorted data can then use to know that the
range is sorted and adjust accordingly. The $(XREF range, SortedRange) is a
wrapper around the original range, so both it and the original range are sorted,
but other functions won't know that the original range has been sorted, whereas
they $(I can) know that $(XREF range, SortedRange) has been sorted.

The predicate is expected to satisfy certain rules in order for $(D 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 $(D assumeSorted)
check. Specifically, $(D sort) expects $(D less(a,b) && less(b,c)) to imply
$(D less(a,c)) (transitivity), and, conversely, $(D !less(a,b) && !less(b,c)) to
imply $(D !less(a,c)). Note that the default predicate ($(D "a < b")) does not
always satisfy these conditions for floating point types, because the expression
will always be $(D false) when either $(D a) or $(D b) is NaN.

Returns: The initial range wrapped as a $(D SortedRange) with the predicate
$(D binaryFun!less).

Algorithms: $(WEB en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introsort) is used for unstable sorting and
$(WEB 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
/**
Sorts a range using an algorithm akin to the $(WEB
wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwartzian_transform, Schwartzian transform), also
known as the decorate-sort-undecorate pattern in Python and Lisp.
This function is helpful when the sort comparison includes
an expensive computation. The complexity is the same as that of the
corresponding $(D sort), but $(D schwartzSort) evaluates $(D
transform) only $(D r.length) times (less than half when compared to
regular sorting). The usage can be best illustrated with an example.

Examples:
----
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 $(D 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 $(D schwartzIsSorted) is not provided
because the effect can be achieved by calling $(D
isSorted!less(map!transform(r))).

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

Given a range of elements, constructs an index of its top $(I n) elements

Similar to $(LREF topN), except that the range is not modified.

Params:
    less = A binary predicate that defines the ordering of range elements.
        Defaults to $(D a < b).
    ss = $(RED (Not implemented yet.)) Specify the swapping strategy.
    r = A
        $(XREF_PACK_NAMED range,primitives,isRandomAccessRange,random-access range)

    index = A
        $(XREF_PACK_NAMED range,primitives,isRandomAccessRange,random-access range)
        with assignable elements to build the index in. The length of this range
        determines how many top elements to index in $(D r).

        This index range can either have integral elements, in which case the
        constructed index will consist of zero-based numerical indices into
        $(D r); or it can have pointers to the element type of $(D r), in which
        case the constructed index will be pointers to the top elements in
        $(D r).
    sorted = Determines whether to sort the index by the elements they refer
        to.

BUGS:
The swapping strategy parameter is not implemented yet; currently it is

 *
 * An even permutation is one which is produced by swapping an even number of
 * pairs of elements in the original range. The set of $(I even) permutations
 * is distinct from the set of $(I all) permutations only when there are no
 * duplicate elements in the range. If the range has $(I N) unique elements,
 * then there are exactly $(I N)!/2 even permutations.
 *
 * If the range is already the lexicographically greatest even permutation, it
 * 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
 * lexicographically next even permutation.
 *
 * One can thus generate the even permutations of a range with unique elements
 * by starting with the lexicographically smallest permutation, and repeatedly
 * calling nextEvenPermutation until it returns false.

 * permutations obey the rule that even + even = even, and odd + even = odd.
 * Thus, by swapping the last two elements of a lexicographically least range,
 * it is turned into the first odd permutation. Then calling
 * nextEvenPermutation on this first odd permutation will generate the next
 * even permutation relative to this odd permutation, which is actually the
 * next odd permutation of the original range. Thus, by repeatedly calling
 * nextEvenPermutation until it returns false, one enumerates the odd
 * permutations of the original range.
