While it makes sense to have a helper function for this the generic bsearch
is not a good solution for small arrays. The generated code is probably
larger and the function call overhead of calling the cmp function completely
outweighs the savings from doing a binary search. bsearch() is good if your
array has 100s or 1000s of entries. If it only has 5, not so much.
