// ================================================================
// OVERVIEW
//
// * Suppose we are sorting records lexically ascending on field "a" and then
// numerically descending on field "x".
//
// * CLI syntax is "mlr sort -f a -nr x".
//
// * We first consume all input records and for each extract the string values
// of fields a and x. For each uniq combination of a-value (e.g. "red",
// "green", "blue") and x-value (e.g. "1", "1.0", "2.4") -- e.g.
// pairs ["red","1"], and so on -- we keep a linked list of all the records
// having those sort-key values, in the order encountered.
//
// * For each of those unique sort-key-value combinations, we also parse the
// numerical fields at this point into an array of union-string-double.
// E.g. the list ["red", "1.0"] maps to the array ["red", 1.0].
//
// * The pairing of parsed-value array the linked list of same-key-value records
// is called a *bucket* or a *group*. E.g the records
// {"a":"red","b":"circle","x":"1.0","y":"3.9"}
// {"a":"red","b":"square","x":"1.0","z":"5.7", "q":"even"}
// would both land in the ["red","1.0"] group.
//
// * Groups are retained in a hash map: the key is the string-list of the form
// ["red","1.0"] and the value is the pairing of parsed-value array ["red",1.0]
// and linked list of records.
//
// * Once all the input records are ingested into this hash map, we copy the
// group-pointers into an array and sort it: this being the pairing of
// parsed-value array and linked list of records. The comparator callback for
// the sort walks through the parsed-value arrays one slot at a time,
// looking at the first difference, e.g. if one has "a"="red" and the other
// has "a"="blue". If the first field matches then the sort moves to the
// second field, and so on.
//
// * Note in particular that string keys ["a":"red","x":"1"] and
// ["a":"red","x":"1.0"] map to different groups, but will sort equally.

// auxents, and terminals) that multi-character options start with

//
// ... with the sole exception being -nf/-nr, right here. This goes
// back to the very start of Miller, and we don't want to break the
// command-line interface to sort.
//
// Before Miller 6, opt and next arg would have been "-nf x,y,z" or

// x,y,z", respectively. Note that "-n x,y,z" and "-f x,y,z" and

// after it unless it's followed immediately by -r or -f.

// "-f", we treat it the same as "-nf". Likewise, "-n" followed by
