error handling #12

Fantastic work. Not an issue more of a question. standard C++ lib is not "exception free", but I will ask anyway. Can we use this lib in "exception free" programs? Using let's say MSVC.

pdqsort does not throw exceptions of itself, nor does it allocate memory. The only exceptions that occur while using it is due to trying to sort types that throw on swapping, moving, destructing, etc... or using a throwing comparison function.
