        <pre>Recently Sean Parent discovered that his quickly hacked implementation of
lower_bound is faster than the one that comes with the libcxx:

I did a quick experiment - the problem seems to be that he is using size_t
while std::lower_bound uses std::iterator_traits<I>::difference_type. size_t is
quicker to divide by two.

I ran some more measurements - the patterns seems to stay the same - here is
binary search in 1000 integers, measured for looking up each number:
