        Ok, how does this work...

        We have a list of matching lines from two lists, a and b. These
        matches are stored in variable `btoa`. As we are iterating over this
        table by bpos, the lines from b already form an increasing sequence.
        We need to "sort" also the lines from a using the patience sorting
        algorithm, ignoring the lines which would need to be swapped.

          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patience_sorting

        For each pair of lines, we need to place the line from a on either
        an existing pile that has higher value on the top or create a new
        pile. Variable `stacks` represents the tops of these piles and in
        variable `lasts` we store the lines from b, that correspond to the
        lines from a in `stacks`.

        Whenever we place a new line on top of a pile, we store a
        backpointer to the line (b) from top of the previous pile. This means
        that after the loop, variable `backpointers` will contain an index
        to the previous matching lines that forms an increasing sequence
        (over both indexes a and b) with the current matching lines. If
        either index a or b of the previous matching lines would be higher
        than indexes of the current one or if the indexes of the current
        one are 0, it will contain SENTINEL.

        To construct the LCS, we will just need to follow these backpointers
        from the top of the last pile and stop when we reach SENTINEL.
