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.
It's not going anywhere, though it likely will disappear from the sample code.
