Any plans to support sorting?
IMHO .sort should just be deprecated and eventually removed, at least in
D2. It's slow (compared to std.algorithm, at least with the
optimizations that were added for 2.054), it's inflexible (because you
can't specify your own comparison function), and there's no good reason
for it to be builtin. Even the syntactic sugar issue is a non-issue now
with uniform function call syntax.
