/**
 * Main multikey quicksort function for suffixes.  Based on Bentley &
 * Sedgewick's algorithm on p.5 of their paper "Fast Algorithms for
 * Sorting and Searching Strings".  That algorithm has been extended in
 * three ways:
 *
 *  1. Deal with keys of different lengths by checking bounds and
 *     considering off-the-end values to be 'hi' (b/c our goal is the
 *     BWT transform, we're biased toward considring prefixes as
 *     lexicographically *greater* than their extensions).
 *  2. The multikey_qsort_suffixes version takes a single host string
 *     and a list of suffix offsets as input.  This reduces memory
 *     footprint compared to an approach that treats its input
 *     generically as a set of strings (not necessarily suffixes), thus
 *     requiring that we store at least two integers worth of
 *     information for each string.
 *  3. Sorting functions take an extra "upto" parameter that upper-
 *     bounds the depth to which the function sorts.
 *
 * TODO: Consult a tie-breaker (like a difference cover sample) if two
 * keys share a long prefix.

/**
 * Main multikey quicksort function for suffixes.  Based on Bentley &
 * Sedgewick's algorithm on p.5 of their paper "Fast Algorithms for
 * Sorting and Searching Strings".  That algorithm has been extended in
 * three ways:
 *
 *  1. Deal with keys of different lengths by checking bounds and
 *     considering off-the-end values to be 'hi' (b/c our goal is the
 *     BWT transform, we're biased toward considring prefixes as
 *     lexicographically *greater* than their extensions).
 *  2. The multikey_qsort_suffixes version takes a single host string
 *     and a list of suffix offsets as input.  This reduces memory
 *     footprint compared to an approach that treats its input
 *     generically as a set of strings (not necessarily suffixes), thus
 *     requiring that we store at least two integers worth of
 *     information for each string.
 *  3. Sorting functions take an extra "upto" parameter that upper-
 *     bounds the depth to which the function sorts.
