This is a pure Python implementation of the merge sort algorithm.
For doctests run following command:
python -m doctest -v merge_sort.py

python3 -m doctest -v merge_sort.py
For manual testing run:
python merge_sort.py

:param collection: some mutable ordered collection with heterogeneous

[0, 2, 2, 3, 5]
>>> merge_sort([])
