It is better to replace use of generic version with templated in
appropriate places.
Generic version uses variable size of element. It will be difficult to
describe through template.

I mean bucket sort is measurably faster than both generic and templated
sort (16956 vs 16199 and 16135). So initial goal remains: to add bucket
sort in this place.

BTW, I have small change to templated version that improves sorting of
random tuples a bit (1-1.5%). Will post it a bit later with test.
