I wouldn't do that in Java, either. They also gave it features a lot of the shorter versions on the page don't have; the ability to fall back to insertion sort for short lists, and the ability to tune exactly how it does that, and how many subsequences to sort and merge. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
