* \brief [Binary Insertion Sort Algorithm
* (Insertion Sort)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_sort)
*
* \details
* If the cost of comparisons exceeds the cost of swaps, as is the case for
* example with string keys stored by reference or with human interaction (such
* as choosing one of a pair displayed side-by-side), then using binary
* insertion sort may yield better performance. Binary insertion sort employs a
* binary search to determine the correct location to insert new elements, and
* therefore performs ⌈log2 n⌉ comparisons in the worst case. When each element
* in the array is searched for and inserted this is O(n log n). The algorithm
* as a whole still has a running time of O(n2) on average because of the series
* * of swaps required for each insertion. However it has several advantages
* such as
* 1. Easy to implement
* 2. For small set of data it is quite efficient
* 3. More efficient that other Quadratic complexity algorithms like
* Selection sort or bubble sort.
* 4. It is efficient to use it when the cost of comparison is high.
* 5. It's stable that is it does not change the relative order of
* elements with equal keys.
* 6. It can sort the array or list as it receives.
*
* Example execution steps:
* 1. Suppose initially we have
* \f{bmatrix}{40 &30 &20 &50 &10\f}
* 2. We start traversing from 40 till we reach 10
* when we reach at 30 we find that it is not at it's correct place so we take
* 30 and place it at a correct position thus the array will become
* \f{bmatrix}{30 &40 &20 &50 &10\f}
* 3. In the next iteration we are at 20 we find that this is also misplaced so
* we place it at the correct sorted position thus the array in this iteration
* becomes
* \f{bmatrix}{20 &30 &40 &50 &10\f}
* 4. We do not do anything with 50 and move on to the next iteration and
* select 10 which is misplaced and place it at correct position. Thus, we have
* \f{bmatrix}{10 &20 &30 &40 &50\f}
