I wonder if they uses the same algorithm.
I mean: qsort could sound like quicksort but is not specified 
anywhere.

I've already said in the past that we probably can improve sort() 
function tuning it for some cases (f.e. short int or bytes...). 
Many languages use some hybrid algorithms like timsort & similar. 
I don't know what D do on phobos...

Did you consider this?
