       significantly more compares overall on random data.

       Binary insertion sort has worst, average, and best case O(n log n)
       cost for # of comparisons, but worst and average case O(n**2) cost
       for data movement. The more expensive comparisons, the more important
       the comparison advantage. But its branches are less predictable the
       more "randomish" the data, and that's so significant its worst case
       in real life is random input rather than reverse-ordered (which does
       about twice the data movement than random input does).

       Note that the number of bytes moved doesn't seem to matter. MAX_MINRUN

the position to the right of the rightmost equal element (if any).]

"a" is a sorted vector with n elements, starting at a[0].  n must be > 0.

"hint" is an index at which to begin the search, 0 <= hint < n.  The closer
hint is to the final result, the faster this runs.

The return value is the int k in 0..n such that

pretending that *(a-1) is minus infinity and a[n] is plus infinity.  IOW,
key belongs at index k; or, IOW, the first k elements of a should precede
key, and the last n-k should follow key.

Returns -1 on error.  See listsort.txt for info on the method.
