            Bug ID: 214248
           Summary: mergesort_r should exist
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: Dave@Yost.com

For the same reason that there is a qsort_r there should be a mergesort_r and
_r variants of the other sorts.

qsort_r is needed when using it from a foreign language like Swift. Mergesort
is superior in many respects but cannot be used because there is no
mergesort_r.
