   This is unrelated to the problem you mentioned, but there is another
annoying problem with sort as it is currently defined.  If you have an
@array and you want to replace it with the sorted version, you have to type
    @array = sort @array;

That would seem to be a place for more explicit, and specific, behaviour. Since we're going "everything is an object" then it's just a matter of:


@array.sort_in_place;

and making sure that the array role provides the appropriate method.
