Yes. As I believe I mentioned in a previous posting, string_sort will
probably look much like postman's sort; the main difference would probably
be worst-case behavior handling.
If you (or anyone else) would like to write a generic string_sort, you're
welcome to. I'm mostly interested in doing it to create a suite of hybrid
sorting algorithms.
