  As long as we're bombarding NeXT with things we'd like to have...

  How about the equivilent of the SmallTalk SortedCollection class
  for the appkit?  Something you could just toss an object into, and
  have magically maintained in sorted order by some arbitrary key?

  A third party could do it too, but this seems so universally useful
  a part of a programmer's toolkit that NeXT should add it to their
  standard distribution.
