'cause that is how s2ir.d is done in dmd. ;-) it actually sorts
*objects*, and objects knows how to order 'emselves. at this
stage it is not trivial to treat objects as byte arrays (easy,
but not a one-liner).
sure, other compilers may do that differently, and it doesn't
really matter how exactly the code for switch is generated until
it works correctly. ;-)
