That is extremely convenient. With my proposed extensions, it's actually
writeable as this:
myArray.sorted { ($0 <=> $1).reversed() }
But that's obviously much less convenient. It's also equivalent to this:
myArray.sorted { $1 <=> $0 }
Which means, with the proper higher-order function, it's the same as this:
myArray.sorted(flip(<=>))
