Smoothsort algorithm (Edsger W. Dijkstra).

Smoothsort is an adaptive variant of heapsort that runs in O(n) time for
9-
nearly sorted data and O(n log n) in the worst case. It uses a special kind
10-
of heap called a Leonardo heap.

Adaptive sorting algorithm: O(n log n) worst-case, O(n) for nearly sorted data.

Uses Leonardo heaps to improve performance on nearly sorted lists.
