/** 
 * \class InsertSort
 * \brief Insertion sort an array of data.
 *
 * InsertSort can be used to sort any array of objects of type T provided a
 * compare class is given. InsertSort is in-place. It does not require any
 * temporary storage.
 *
 * Objects are not made aware that they are being moved around in memory.
 * Assignment operators, constructors and destructors are never invoked by the
 * sort.
 *
 * InsertSort runs in O(n^2) time. It is most useful when sorting small arrays.
 * where it can outperform the O(n*log(n)) sorters due to its simplicity.
 * InsertSort is a not a stable sort. Elements with the same key will not have
 * their relative ordering preserved.
