  Quicksort
       
          A sorting algorithm with O(n log n) average time
          complexity.
       
          One element, x of the list to be sorted is chosen and the
          other elements are split into those elements less than x and
          those greater than or equal to x.  These two lists are then
          sorted recursively using the same algorithm until there is
          only one element in each list, at which point the sublists are
          recursively recombined in order yielding the sorted list.
       
          This can be written in Haskell:
       
          	qsort               :: Ord a => [a] -> [a]
          	qsort []             = []
          	qsort (x:xs)         = qsort [ u | u<-xs, u=x ]
       
          [Mark Jones, Gofer prelude.]
