Comment:

 This thing should go to TR1 and it is absolutely necessary.

 == Reasons ==

 {{{
 #!rst
 Authority
    It is considered imporant enough to be included in the standard.

 Completeness
    A library that contains algorithms that depend on the data being
 ordered but does not provide an explicit concept of being ordered is
 incomplete.
 Use case
    For example, to be able to throw when a precomputed (tainted) data
 source is not ordered as expected.
 }}}

 == Remarks ==

 {{{
 #!rst
 ===============  ==============
 ===========================================
 instead of       better name     reason
 ===============  ==============
 ===========================================
 ``is_sorted``    ``is_ordered``  sorting and ordering are different
 concepts
 ``is_creasing``  ``is_growing``  hard to understand
 ===============  ==============
 ===========================================
