Please tell me they're not going anywhere. I **really** don't
want to deal with those being deprecated.
...and they were kind of useful in that you could introspect the
string and apply optimizations depending on what the lambda was.
I wrote a sorting function that introspected the lambda that was
passed to it. If it was "a < b", "a<b", "a > b", etc., and the
array to be sorted was floating point, it punned and bit twiddled
the floats/doubles to ints/longs, sorted them and bit twiddled
and punned them back.
