Comment on Quadsort: a stable non-recursive merge sortparent

Comments

In place kinda means the opposite of in swap space.

But "swap space" without the "in" is pretty ambiguous. If it just holds 1 or 4 elements as you perform a single logical swap, you're still sorting in-place.

(This sort does not use the term that way, but another sort could.)
