namespace boost {
namespace movelib {

//! <b>Effects</b>: Merges two consecutive sorted ranges [first, middle) and [middle, last)
//!   into one sorted range [first, last) according to the given comparison function comp.
//!   The algorithm is stable (if there are equivalent elements in the original two ranges,
//!   the elements from the first range (preserving their original order) precede the elements
//!   from the second range (preserving their original order).
//!
//! <b>Requires</b>:
//!   - RandIt must meet the requirements of ValueSwappable and RandomAccessIterator.
//!   - The type of dereferenced RandIt must meet the requirements of MoveAssignable and MoveConstructible.
//!
//! <b>Parameters</b>:
//!   - first: the beginning of the first sorted range. 
//!   - middle: the end of the first sorted range and the beginning of the second
//!   - last: the end of the second sorted range
//!   - comp: comparison function object which returns true if the first argument is is ordered before the second.
//!   - uninitialized, uninitialized_len: raw storage starting on "uninitialized", able to hold "uninitialized_len"
//!      elements of type iterator_traits<RandIt>::value_type. Maximum performance is achieved when uninitialized_len
//!      is min(std::distance(first, middle), std::distance(middle, last)).
//!
//! <b>Throws</b>: If comp throws or the move constructor, move assignment or swap of the type
//!   of dereferenced RandIt throws.
//!
//! <b>Complexity</b>: Always K x O(N) comparisons and move assignments/constructors/swaps.
//!   Constant factor for comparisons and data movement is minimized when uninitialized_len
//!   is min(std::distance(first, middle), std::distance(middle, last)).
//!   Pretty good enough performance is achieved when uninitialized_len is
//!   ceil(sqrt(std::distance(first, last)))*2.
//!
//! <b>Caution</b>: Experimental implementation, not production-ready.
