Is there a compelling reason to use Python 2.4's sort facilities?  I
recognize that they're nicer, but in general, I think it's better to
have one codepath, instead of two.  The code's cleaner that way, and
it's easier to test.

Of course, there are always exceptions if there's a good enough reason.
