Hmm... Do we really need such deep indirection?

See below.

We have lib/bsearch.h. I haven't really looked deeply into the above, but my
gut feelings that that might be useful here. Can you check that?

You can also shorten this by inversing the conditional:

	ret = mid ? ...not 0... : ...for 0...;
