/**
* Optimized public-domain implementation of a Java alphanumeric sort.
* <p>
*
* This implementation uses a single comparison pass over the characters in a
* CharSequence, and returns as soon as a differing character is found, unless
* the difference occurs in a series of numeric characters, in which case that
* series is followed to its end. Numeric series of equal length are compared
* numerically, that is, according to the most significant (leftmost) differing
* digit. Series of unequal length are compared by their length.
* <p>
*
* This implementation appears to be 2-5 times faster than alphanumeric
* comparators based based on substring analysis, with a lighter memory
* footprint.
* <p>
*
* This alphanumeric comparator has approximately 20%-50% the performance of the
* lexical String.compareTo() operation. Character sequences without numeric
* data are compared more quickly.
* <p>
