State-Changed-Why:
matt was saying that the comparator functions are modelled on the qsort ones,
which seems to be the correct approach to this pair of eyes - most people
cast within the comparison routine to the required type of argument, which
adds an air of genericism to the sorting, at the cost of access through void * 
pointers.

matt is also going to take a further look to check the direction of testing.
I'll update the bug when the oracle speaks further.
