While I like where most of this is going, I beg to differ on this point.
I end up sorting numbers more often then strings, except when I'm
sorting the keys of a hash.  I'm always annoyed in my one liners when I
have to write out:

    sort { $a <=> $b } ...

And I'd be thrilled if it were as easy as:

    sort { +$_ } ...
