   *
   * This mergesort is as eager as possible while always performing at least
   * 2:1 balanced merges.  Given two pending sublists of size 2^k, they are
   * merged to a size-2^(k+1) list as soon as we have 2^k following elements.
   *
   * Thus, it will avoid cache thrashing as long as 3*2^k elements can
   * fit into the cache.  Not quite as good as a fully-eager bottom-up
   * mergesort, but it does use 0.2*n fewer comparisons, so is faster in
   * the common case that everything fits into L1.
   *
   *
   * The merging is controlled by "count", the number of elements in the
   * pending lists.  This is beautiully simple code, but rather subtle.
   *
   * Each time we increment "count", we set one bit (bit k) and clear
   * bits k-1 .. 0.  Each time this happens (except the very first time
   * for each bit, when count increments to 2^k), we merge two lists of
   * size 2^k into one list of size 2^(k+1).
   *
   * This merge happens exactly when the count reaches an odd multiple of
   * 2^k, which is when we have 2^k elements pending in smaller lists,
   * so it's safe to merge away two lists of size 2^k.
   *
   * After this happens twice, we have created two lists of size 2^(k+1),
   * which will be merged into a list of size 2^(k+2) before we create
   * a third list of size 2^(k+1), so there are never more than two pending.
   *
   * The number of pending lists of size 2^k is determined by the
   * state of bit k of "count" plus two extra pieces of information:

   * - The state of bit k-1 (when k == 0, consider bit -1 always set), and
   * - Whether the higher-order bits are zero or non-zero (i.e.
   *   is count >= 2^(k+1)).

   * There are six states we distinguish.  "x" represents some arbitrary
   * bits, and "y" represents some arbitrary non-zero bits:
   * 0:  00x: 0 pending of size 2^k;           x pending of sizes < 2^k
   * 1:  01x: 0 pending of size 2^k; 2^(k-1) + x pending of sizes < 2^k
   * 2: x10x: 0 pending of size 2^k; 2^k     + x pending of sizes < 2^k
   * 3: x11x: 1 pending of size 2^k; 2^(k-1) + x pending of sizes < 2^k
   * 4: y00x: 1 pending of size 2^k; 2^k     + x pending of sizes < 2^k
   * 5: y01x: 2 pending of size 2^k; 2^(k-1) + x pending of sizes < 2^k
   * (merge and loop back to state 2)
   *
   * We gain lists of size 2^k in the 2->3 and 4->5 transitions (because
   * bit k-1 is set while the more significant bits are non-zero) and
   * merge them away in the 5->2 transition.  Note in particular that just
   * before the 5->2 transition, all lower-order bits are 11 (state 3),
   * so there is one list of each smaller size.
   *
   * When we reach the end of the input, we merge all the pending
   * lists, from smallest to largest.  If you work through cases 2 to
   * 5 above, you can see that the number of elements we merge with a list
   * of size 2^k varies from 2^(k-1) (cases 3 and 5 when x == 0) to
   * 2^(k+1) - 1 (second merge of case 5 when x == 2^(k-1) - 1).
