-- Given an array where all elements are strings or numbers, returns

|
|
-- `sep` is the empty string, the default for `i` is 1, and the default for
|
|
-- `j` is the length of the table. If `i` is greater than `j`, returns the

|
|
-- table elements, and returns true when the first is less than the second
|
|
-- (so that `not comp(a[i+1],a[i])` will be true after the sort). If `comp`
|
|
-- is not given, then the '<' operator will be used.
