Generally you want to keep the compiler (all its layers) as
simpler as possible, to make it simpler to compile, debug and
develop. A sort is implementable very well in library code. Other
things, like tuples with a good syntax maybe can't be implemented
well in library code, so they should be in the compiler :)
I suggest to kill the built-in sort ASAP.
