In Python sort() is in-place. To help programmers remember this, sort() returns
None (like void in D):

>>> a = [10, 30, 5]
>>> sorted(a)
[5, 10, 30]
>>> a
[10, 30, 5]
>>> a.sort()
>>> a
[5, 10, 30]

But in DMD 2.051 std.algorithm.sort() returns the sequence sorted in-place.
Once a sorted/schwartzSorted are present, I suggest to let std.algorithm.sort()
return void, as in Python.

sorted/schwartzSorted may be tagged with @nodiscard from bug 5464 to further
help programmers remember their semantics.
