But also, it's not just the number of list objects that are sorted, but how often it's done. I could have a 10,000 line program with only one call to `my_list.sort()` in it... but that one line is something that is called inside an inner loop. This feels like it really needs profiling not just static analysis. -- Keeping medicines from the bloodstreams of the sick; food from the bellies of the hungry; books from the hands of the uneducated; technology from the underdeveloped; and putting advocates of freedom in prisons.
