... although looking closer, this formulation does have one very nice
advantage: for the typical non-star case with high = low = 1, the
only recursive call is a tail recursion, so it ought to consume less
stack space than what I wrote.
And we even can simply transform this tail call into a loop:
-if (tlen > 0 && qlen > 0)
+while (tlen > 0 && qlen > 0)
Let me see what I can do with the comments.
Thanks.
