/* Usage:
 * Sort<Compare> sorter(temp, compare);
 * Chain(config) >> Read(file) >> sorter.Unsorted();
 * Stream stream;
 * Chain chain(config) >> sorter.Sorted(internal_config, lazy_config) >> stream;
 *
 * Note that sorter must outlive any threads that use Unsorted or Sorted.
 *
 * Combiners take the form:
 * bool operator()(void *into, const void *option, const Compare &compare) const
 * which returns true iff a combination happened.  The sorting algorithm
 * guarantees compare(into, option).  But it does not guarantee
 * compare(option, into).
 * Currently, combining is only done in merge steps, not during on-the-fly
 * sort.  Use a hash table for that.
