Does anybody use < to compare lookup keys?

Hi Nicolas, 

Probably everybody.

<list of associations> asSortedArray 

for example. 

The problem is at the String >>#< level

both 
#a < 1 
and 
#a < #1 
cause errors.

The argument needs to be treated more polymorphicly
(adapt to string and send type stuff ) and this ought
be a mantis item.

Cheers.

Hth, 

Yours in curiosity and service, -Jerome Peace
