This is the implementation function for both a method that returns the sorted prefix of a sequence, and for the unsorted suffix of the sequence. (The algorithm naturally calculates both at the same time.) Note that the while loop needs to test for strongly increasing vs. weakly increasing each time. I wanted to do the calculation once, putting the result into a closure.
// I only half-remember what I had here.
let closure = stopsAtDuplicate ? { try areInIncreasingOrder(previous, current) } : { try !areInIncreasingOrder(current, previous) }
But calling the closure gives a "Call can throw, but the error is not handled; a function declared 'rethrows' may only throw if its parameter does" each time. This has been encountered before, and summarized into SR-680.
How easy is this to fix?
