Source: TODO.md §4.3 (at 669b2b3)

qsort, qsort_r, bsearch

A comparator that fails currently has nowhere to put the error. An
akerror-aware comparator signature, shaped like the aksl_TreeCompareFunc the
tree functions already take, would be a genuine improvement over libc rather
than a wrapper around it -- which is the bar this library sets for adding
surface.
