It would be really helpful! Does it already work? I especially don't 
understand how can I change standard behaviour of table sort property?

I think that internationalization support is one of most important areas 
which could increase D acceptance all over the world.

Althrough in C++ it's not as easy as it should be, but it's still easier 
than making own sort function. Especially when I want in my program that 
sorting according to rules of _many_ different languages should be 
supported.

Another problem is that D documentation does not say anything that D 
sorts tables only in binary order. There should be also hint how to 
implement own sorters for table, because now language does not behave as 
expected in case of strings.
