So interesting that you mentioned this :) I actually came across your
implementation as I was looking for an OCaml implementation of TimSort that
I could use as a test stress for Cameleer (a deductive verification tool
for OCaml-written code).

I didn't get that much far (cf, the in-progress proof is here:
https://github.com/ocaml-gospel/cameleer/blob/master/examples/in_progress/timsort.ml),
but I was planning to get back to it very soon. Maybe I will take a look
first at the implementation on arrays :)

Cheers
