There is one in PyPy too.  Kind of obvious, in fact: we need one for
implementing `list.sort()`.

I think the original question was instead very numpy-specific: it
refers, I guess, to some sorting that you do on numpy arrays.  I guess
(but I have no real clue) that timsort is not considered good for that
purpose.  Otherwise, it would be written in the planning file: "plug
our existing timsort into numpy".


A bientôt,

Armin.
