 for each type of array.
 Also the comparison function has to be defined individually
 for each array cell type. SORT_FUN is the sort function name.
-CTX is extra context passed as the first parameter of SORT_FUN.
 The function takes the array to be sorted (ARR),
 the array of auxiliary space (AUX_ARR) of same size,
 and the low (LOW), inclusive, and high (HIGH), noninclusive,
 limits for the sort interval as arguments.
-CMP_FUN is the comparison function name. It takes as arguments CTX and
+CMP_FUN is the comparison function name. It takes as arguments
 two elements from the array and returns 1, if the first is bigger,
 0 if equal, and -1 if the second bigger. For an eaxmaple of use
