Yhc's sort is faster than GHC's
The sort code in the Yhc libraries is faster than GHC. In some cases its asymptotically better. Some benchmarks have shown a doubling in performance. I know why this is, but will need to make sure the code is as good as it can be, check all the benchmarks agree etc.

I will track this down and aim for a libraries proposal in a month or so.
