/**
Compares two wide character strings with an (arguably) intuitive
ordering.
This function tries to order strings in a way which is intuitive to
humans with regards to sorting strings containing numbers.
Most sorting functions would sort the strings 'file1.txt'
'file5.txt' and 'file12.txt' as:
file1.txt
file12.txt
file5.txt
This function regards any sequence of digits as a single entity
when performing comparisons, so the output is instead:
file1.txt
file5.txt
file12.txt
Which most people would find more intuitive.
This won't return the optimum results for numbers in bases higher
than ten, such as hexadecimal, but at least a stable sort order
will result.
This function performs a two-tiered sort, where difference in case
and in number of leading zeroes in numbers only have effect if no
other differences between strings are found. This way, a 'file1'
and 'File1' will not be considered identical, and hence their
internal sort order is not arbitrary, but the names 'file1',
'File2' and 'file3' will still be sorted in the order given above.
