Hi,

The help for sort() says the following with respect to the function
reference argument:

    ...The function is invoked with two
    items as argument and must return zero if they are equal, 1 if
    the first one sorts after the second one, -1 if the first one
    sorts before the second one.  Example:
            func MyCompare(i1, i2)
               return a:i1 == a:i2 ? 0 : a:i1 > a:i2 ? 1 : -1
            endfunc

Does it really have to return -1, 0, or 1?  Or is it OK to just return
negative, 0 or positive?  That way it becomes easier:

            func MyCompare(i1, i2)
               return a:il - a:i2
            endfunc

I think the docs should be updated if this is how it behaves.  And if
not, the docs and the code should be updated so it does :-)

Rob.
