we use a special vector which does not have

the original vector. The usage is restricted to only once at a time, i.e.

/* Order size using quicksort.  This implementation incorporates
   four optimizations discussed in Sedgewick:
   
   1. Non-recursive, using an explicit stack of pointer that
      store the next array partition to sort.  To save time, this
      maximum amount of space required to store an array of
      MAX_INT is allocated on the stack.  Assuming a 32-bit integer,
      this needs only 32 * sizeof (stack_node) == 136 bits.  Pretty
      cheap, actually.

   2. Chose the pivot element using a median-of-three decision tree.
      This reduces the probability of selecting a bad pivot value and 
      eliminates certain extraneous comparisons.

   3. Only quicksorts TOTAL_ELEMS / MAX_THRESH partitions, leaving
      insertion sort to order the MAX_THRESH items within each partition.  
      This is a big win, since insertion sort is faster for small, mostly
      sorted array segements.
   
   4. The larger of the two sub-partitions is always pushed onto the
      stack first, with the algorithm then concentrating on the
      smaller partition.  This *guarantees* no more than log (n)
      stack size is needed! */
