there is a pattern to it, but I would have to look it up several times before
it sunk in since it is not intuitive at all.
It's sorted, the adjective. As in, "give me a _sorted_ array",
compared to "_sort_ this array". It's a common convention and I always
found it intuitive.

Hey Ilija,
yes, I agree it's intuitive.
However, I consider it bad to add extra functions for this behaviour.
There's very little gain in extra functions, sort(), sorted(),
shuffle(), shuffled(), etc..
So yeah, I'd agree on the naming *if* these were the only variation of
sorting/shuffling etc. functions. But that's not the case here.
I, for my part, very much like the RFC, for that it gives functionality,
which I've been missing quite some times already and is minimally invasive.
