We had discussed that. Would it make sense to specify that coll.compare
would actually be a bound method? That's one of the things that had a
little "oh, no good any way we do this", as Erik wouldn't know of any
example we'd follow by defining a method on an object to be bound by
default.

Sorry, I didn't get the difference first time around.
Also, current fix is to do:
array.sort(function(a,b) { return coll.compare(a,b); });
Why not
array.sort(coll.compare.bind(coll))
?

Not exactly. I said that the Array methods on ES5 already pass in an
optional this parameter and maybe we *could* do the same for
Array.prototype.sort in Harmony.
