## This module implements some common generic algorithms on `openArray`s.

## Basic usage
## ===========
##

runnableExamples:
  type People = tuple
    year: int
    name: string

  var a: seq[People]

  a.add((2000, "John"))
  a.add((2005, "Marie"))
  a.add((2010, "Jane"))

  # Sorting with default system.cmp
  a.sort()
  assert a == @[(year: 2000, name: "John"), (year: 2005, name: "Marie"),
                (year: 2010, name: "Jane")]

  proc myCmp(x, y: People): int =
    cmp(x.name, y.name)

  # Sorting with custom proc
  a.sort(myCmp)
  assert a == @[(year: 2010, name: "Jane"), (year: 2000, name: "John"),
                (year: 2005, name: "Marie")]
