/**
 *  The {@code BinaryInsertion} class provides a static method for sorting an
 *  array using an optimized binary insertion sort with half exchanges.
 *  <p>
 *  This implementation makes ~ n lg n compares for any array of length n.
 *  However, in the worst case, the running time is quadratic because the
 *  number of array accesses can be proportional to n^2 (e.g, if the array
 *  is reverse sorted). As such, it is not suitable for sorting large
 *  arrays (unless the number of inversions is small).
 *  <p>
 *  The sorting algorithm is stable and uses O(1) extra memory.
 *  <p>
 *  For additional documentation, see <a href="http://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/21elementary">Section 2.1</a> of
 *  <i>Algorithms, 4th Edition</i> by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.
