// Main explanation of the merge algorithm.
//
// csqrtlen = ceil(sqrt(len));
//
// * First, csqrtlen [to be used as buffer] + (len/csqrtlen - 1) [to be used as keys] => to_collect
//   unique elements are extracted from elements to be sorted and placed in the beginning of the range.
//
// * Step "combine_blocks": the leading (len1-to_collect) elements plus trailing len2 elements
//   are merged with a non-trivial ("smart") algorithm to form an ordered range trailing "len-to_collect" elements.
//
//   Explanation of the "combine_blocks" step:
//
//         * Trailing [first+to_collect, first+len1) elements are divided in groups of cqrtlen elements.
//           Remaining elements that can't form a group are grouped in front of those elements.
//         * Trailing [first+len1, first+len1+len2) elements are divided in groups of cqrtlen elements.
//           Remaining elements that can't form a group are grouped in the back of those elements.
//         * In parallel the following two steps are performed:
//             *  Groups are selection-sorted by first or last element (depending whether they are going
//                to be merged to left or right) and keys are reordered accordingly as an imitation-buffer.
//             * Elements of each block pair are merged using the csqrtlen buffer taking into account
//                if they belong to the first half or second half (marked by the key).
//
// * In the final merge step leading "to_collect" elements are merged with rotations
//   with the rest of merged elements in the "combine_blocks" step.
//
// Corner cases:
//
// * If no "to_collect" elements can be extracted:
//
//    * If more than a minimum number of elements is extracted
//      then reduces the number of elements used as buffer and keys in the
//      and "combine_blocks" steps. If "combine_blocks" has no enough keys due to this reduction
//      then uses a rotation based smart merge.
//
//    * If the minimum number of keys can't be extracted, a rotation-based merge is performed.
//
// * If auxiliary memory is more or equal than min(len1, len2), a buffered merge is performed.
//
// * If the len1 or len2 are less than 2*csqrtlen then a rotation-based merge is performed.
//
// * If auxiliary memory is more than csqrtlen+n_keys*sizeof(std::size_t),
//   then no csqrtlen need to be extracted and "combine_blocks" will use integral
//   keys to combine blocks.

///@endcond

//! <b>Effects</b>: Merges two consecutive sorted ranges [first, middle) and [middle, last)
//!   into one sorted range [first, last) according to the given comparison function comp.
//!   The algorithm is stable (if there are equivalent elements in the original two ranges,
//!   the elements from the first range (preserving their original order) precede the elements
//!   from the second range (preserving their original order).
//!
//! <b>Requires</b>:
//!   - RandIt must meet the requirements of ValueSwappable and RandomAccessIterator.
//!   - The type of dereferenced RandIt must meet the requirements of MoveAssignable and MoveConstructible.
//!
//! <b>Parameters</b>:
//!   - first: the beginning of the first sorted range. 
//!   - middle: the end of the first sorted range and the beginning of the second
//!   - last: the end of the second sorted range
//!   - comp: comparison function object which returns true if the first argument is is ordered before the second.
//!   - uninitialized, uninitialized_len: raw storage starting on "uninitialized", able to hold "uninitialized_len"
//!      elements of type iterator_traits<RandIt>::value_type. Maximum performance is achieved when uninitialized_len
//!      is min(std::distance(first, middle), std::distance(middle, last)).
//!
//! <b>Throws</b>: If comp throws or the move constructor, move assignment or swap of the type
//!   of dereferenced RandIt throws.
//!
//! <b>Complexity</b>: Always K x O(N) comparisons and move assignments/constructors/swaps.
//!   Constant factor for comparisons and data movement is minimized when uninitialized_len
//!   is min(std::distance(first, middle), std::distance(middle, last)).
//!   Pretty good enough performance is achieved when uninitialized_len is
//!   ceil(sqrt(std::distance(first, last)))*2.
//!
//! <b>Caution</b>: Experimental implementation, not production-ready.
