I must agree that it's not something that is needed everyday, I will put it in the Cookbook.

Thanks.

This doesn't strike me as a "fundamental" algorithm like
bisection or heap sort. I don't think I've ever needed this,
except perhaps in situations where the amount of data was
small enough that simply concatenating the lists and sorting
them was an acceptable 3-line solution.

Therefore I'm rejecting this unless you get someone of
importance to plead for it.
