No, FSF should tell Jim that they have received your papers.  Then Jim
tells me, and it'll be comitted before he has time to blink.

Hmm...  Now when you say it, isn't sort^2 of a fundamental thing?

I'd like to have a primitive sort in Guile.

Jim:

Suggestion: mdj adds primitive sort to libguile now.  When the big
libguile factorization takes place, it'll be put in its own module.

OK?

(The file sort.c will provide the same interface as slib so that we
 can add 'sort to *features*.)
