+case runtime of <em>O(N * lg(N))</em> and a best case of <em>O(N)</em>. Even without patterns, the
+quicksort partitioning has been very efficiently implemented, and @c pdqsort runs 80-90% faster than
+GCC 6.2's @c std::sort. If the type being sorted is @c std::is_arithmetic this function will
+automatically use @c pdqsort_branchless.
