In what way?

The standard in fact contains a templated version of qsort.  It is
called sort (see section 25.3.1.1 in the draft standard).

I didn't see any mention of this in the FAQ...

Are there idioms for creating type safe comparison functions for use with
qsort?  It seems to me that a templated version of qsort would be very
wasteful.

Thanks.
