I didn't agree with that design decision of Phobos, I think I said this to
Andrei too. schwartzSort is a very handy sort, I don't like it buried by such
long (and for me hard to write name, I am never able to remember its spelling).
In Python3 the built-in sort is a schwartzSort.
Beside the name, I think D schwartzSort needs an improvement, because currently
you can't give it a function like q{ a.foo }, you have to use a longer lambda
like (Foo a){ return a.foo; }.
