(* Module [Sort]: sorting and merging lists *)
val list : ('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list
(* Sort a list in increasing order according to an ordering predicate.
The predicate should return [true] if its first argument is
less than or equal to its second argument. *)
val merge : ('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list -> 'a list
(* Merge two lists according to the given predicate.
Assuming the two argument lists are sorted according to the
predicate, [merge] returns a sorted list containing the elements
from the two lists. The behavior is undefined if the two
argument lists were not sorted. *)
