/*
 * Perform an iterative mergesort using an array of sublists.
 *
 * n is the number of items.
 * ranks[i] is undefined if n & 2^i == 0, and assumed empty.
 * ranks[i] contains a sublist of length 2^i otherwise.
 *
 * The number of bits in a void pointer limits the number of objects
 * that can be created, and thus the number of array elements necessary
 * to be able to sort any valid list.
 *
 * Adding an item to this array is like incrementing a binary number;
 * positional values for set bits correspond to sublist lengths.
