Sure, but it's no different than doing, e.g.:
list(range(100000000)).sort()
(don't try this, it just made by computer slow down to a crawl and I had to kill
-9 the Python interpreter)
The question is whether there is still any reason to special-case long objects
and not, say, list.sort() or re.sub().
