I adopted that approach (after adding the missing not).

I have left the exception in to avoid the unnecessary quadratic
behaviour (quick sort is supposed to be nlogn on average), as the
situation only occurs for a fatal error code, so it is not too big a
deal that I get a crash instead temporarily (anyone who objects can
compile with ISE).
