Hi,
Is there any good reason not to allow radix sorting via order() over the
entire range of R (32bit) integers, instead of setting a hard limit at
100,000? Many machines have plenty of memory to support this. Seems like it
is just a matter of dynamic allocating the bucket array instead of the
current static allocation.
This would really help with e.g. sorting positions in the genome.
I'm happy to submit a patch if this sounds sensible.
Thanks,
Michael
