Just thought of it again.
If we make the quicksort procedure virtual protected instead of private,
it would be easy for anyone who needs it to derive a stringlist class in
which quicksort makes the pivot choice without using the random routine.
To avoid the performance penalty of the virtualization, the same trick
as for the exchangeitems procedure could be used (though I doubt it
would make a relevant difference).
