I'm not sure I buy this conclusion here: the reason to put it into
sort (or somewhere) would be a) convenience and b) maintainability
(since this comes up fairly often at least in my own experience and
having something short to read to know what is going on is preferable
to having to read a bunch of code to figure out what is going on). No?
