Just so we could have it in 5.x, instead of the stated plan
of waiting until 6.x.  I do not feel strongly about it, other
than to say that it'd be nice if this was part of 5.x, and I
don't know if we want to switch to rewrite of 'sort' at this
point in 5.x.  *Someday* we've got to stop dropping in major
changes to 5.x, and get serious about releasing it as -stable
so we can start on 6.x-current.

Just my 2 cents.  I don't feel strongly about it.
