I know, it's something I use. Something one probably expects to
Just Work. I thought for sure Go would have provided the needed

While I was trying to find additional information I came across
this blog[1] which had such a fitting quote, "The sort package in
Go is pretty neat." Directly followed by "there are some specific
functions for sort some of the basic types."
When trying to write a blog which centers around the sort
packaging being *the* example of why Go's lack of generics sucks,
reading that the package is "neat" was not something I expected.
