As we do not know anything about the nature of the user given keys, we can
not provide the 'correct' sorting algorithm for normalization. In this case, I
tend to favour the natural ordering of integer, which is currently just
'broken' by the given JDK String sort.
The downside is the performance check on the existence integers, which we
could implement that it works only if it works for all and we would only offer
for an optional normalization.
In case you agree: I would provide an update on the patch. As both patches
seem to be overlapping, would it be fine for you to provide a single patch,
again?
