I have two issues:
1. It's less discoverable. Someone merely *typing* `sort` into their editor
will see `sortBy` right below it in their autocompletion list, and might
discover it that way.
2. It forces a naïve implementation, which may not be the best idea. In the
Perl world, for instance, we would usually use a Schwartzian transform to
implement this, particularly if the key might be expensive to compute:
array.map { ($0, sortKey($0)) }.sort { $0.1 < $1.1 }.map { $0.0 }
Having said that, I think both of these concerns are relatively minor.
