41-- Reorders the elements of an indexable structure, over the range
42-- First .. Last, such that the elements are sorted in the ordering determined
43-- by the generic formal function Before; Before should return True if Left is
44-- to be sorted before Right. The generic formal Before compares the elements
45-- having the given indices, and the generic formal Swap exchanges the values
46-- of the indicated elements. Any exception raised during evaluation of Before
47-- or Swap is propagated.

49-- The actual function for the generic formal function "<" is expected to
50-- return the same value each time it is called with a particular pair of
51-- element values. It should not modify Container and it should define a
52-- strict weak ordering relationship: irreflexive, asymmetric, transitive, and
53-- in addition, if x < y for any values x and y, then for all other values z,
54-- (x < z) or (z < y). If the actual for "<" behaves in some other manner,
55-- the behavior of the instance of Generic_Sort is unspecified. The number of
56-- times Generic_Sort calls "<" is unspecified.
