Good.

Another possibility is to let D2 accept ? and ! too inside variable names, so 
they can become (as in Ruby I think, and something similar is common in 
Lisp-like languages too):
array.sort(predicate)
array.sort!(predicate); // void function
array.sorted?(predicate)

I never liked that with ruby, I would prefer Michel Fortin's suggestion.
