Coincidentally, I'll be prototyping a tuple sort that will take better
advantage of keys that are integers (whether authoritative or
abbreviated), using scalar, portable branch-free techniques. This will
require some re-architecting and I believe that will also make it
easier for you to experiment with sorting networks there.
