Something in my gut does not like SortedCollections either, and I have
even gone into some of my domains and replaced SortedCollections with
OrderedCollections and put in some strategically-placed #sort:'s.
Since doing that, I am now second-guessing myself; I needed another
placed call to #sort: and the question immediately came to my mind:
Why shouldn't this encapsulate the sorting behavior automatically
whenever it is sent an order-dependent message (like enumeration)?
