And this all is good but TimSort allocates O(N) memory. The constant

Worst case is O(n/2), but it starts small and doubles in size as needed.
On a partially sorted array, it may only use a small amount of memory.

Good to know, still it's something to keep in mind.
Especially for allocation-free minded folks.
