-------------------------------------
Ok, so I've had a look on quicksort.patch. It seems quite identical to
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12553238/quicksort-iterative-or-recursive
Comparing both implementations there is one difference which might be the
reason for the current patch not functioning propertly:
in {{partition()}} the first comparison {{if (cmp.compare(list.get(l), piv) <=
0)}} should read {{if (cmp.compare(list.get(l), piv) < 0)}} - which would
correspond to {{if (arr\[l\] < piv)}} in the StackOverflow variant.
