Andrei Alexandrescu:
We need to fix that! std.algorithm.sort should include builtin
sort's functionality,
What is the missing functionality we are talking about?
I think the only advantage of the built-in sort is that it causes
less template bloat and less compilation time.
Anyway, I'd like to see a warning or deprecation for the built-in
sort soon... Unless you/we want to un-deprecate it and fix it
better. Keeping several things for lot of time in a
"will-be-deprecated" limbo doesn't sound good for a serious
language.
