Yikes. Sorting time in D is trivial. It would never occur to me that

I know, it's something I use. Something one probably expects to Just
Work. I thought for sure Go would have provided the needed functions,
but no they didn't.
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."
I swear when I glanced at [1] I thought it was sarcasm. Reading it again
- I see it wasn't :)
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.
