+ * Linear search algorithm, generalized from Knuth (6.1) Algorithm Q.
+ *
+ * This version no longer has anything to do with Knuth's Algorithm Q,
+ * which first copies the new element into the table, then looks for it.
+ * The assumption there was that the cost of checking for the end of the
+ * table before each comparison outweighed the cost of the comparison, which
+ * isn't true when an arbitrary comparison function must be called and when the
+ * copy itself takes a significant number of cycles.
+ * Actually, it has now reverted to Algorithm S, which is "simpler."
