I always think X < Y return a single bool,
Having a practice with NumPy and the like, I think X < Y as
returning as many bools as the length of X and Y:
from numpy import *
a = array([1, 5, 1])
b = array([1, 1, 5])
a < b
array([False, False, True], dtype=bool)
Programmers with experience of Matlab, Matcad, etc, feel the
same.

But does sort!"a<b" still work if it returns an array?
It doesn't make sense for me :) if you ask me if a int vector is
lesser than another one I don't mean every single component but
the whole vector. Same goes for strings or any other range.
