while we're at it, why do you guys make the order or arguments like that?

like, these are easier to read than in the order available in racket:

(string-split "," "6,5,1,12,13,8,15,9,3,7,4,2,14,10,11")
(sort < '(6 5 1 12 13 8 15 9 3 7 4 2 14 10 11))
(string-join "," '(6 5 1 12 13 8 15 9 3 7 4 2 14 10 11))

they also seem more sensible, because the more interesting argument
for such functions is not what is to be operated upon, but the
operator itself.  Coupled with currying, it'd be heaven... :)
