Note that 'sort' is a destructive function, it modifies the order of cells
in-place. Thus you must use the return value of 'sort', it may return another
cell than was passed to it.

Hi all,
I noticed an odd behavior of sort -
(setq L '((2) (1) ))
(println (length L)) # 2 as expected
(sort L)
(println (length L)) # why 1?
(println L) # ((2))
(bye)
I would expect sort not to change the length. Am I missing something here
or is sort broken?
