you want a non-destructive sort. i want a non-destructive sort. last
week someone was wanting to add a non-destructive sort with mapping.
every new user screws up assuming that [].sort is non-destructive.
even norvig lists it as the big ugly wart in python (well, maybe not
in those words).
you'd think that someone would add non-destructive sort to python,
wouldn't you?
funny old world, eh?
