Good catch! I'm disappointed that we couldn't use type-checking here, as
it is quite difficult to discover that the types are wrong here.
Generics in C are hard, and type checking traditionally falls by the
wayside.  You could use macros for that, like klib [*] does, but that
has its own downsides (more object text, debugging the sort macros
themselves is harder).

[*] https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib/blob/master/ksort.h
We could also do something like this to reduce the amount of manual
casting, but do we want to?  (Macro at the bottom, three semi-random
examples at the top.)

I like the idea! It certainly can assist in some of the repeat work when preparing to QSORT, and make it less error-prone.

Here, to make the macro version compile you need to cast ap and bp, which gives us a level of type-safety that wasn't there before. That can help us find errors at compile-time!

I would use this macro.
