I'm wondering if there is something we can do to mitigate the issue in a general way. It bites that the venerable technique of tuple sorting has lost some of its mojo. This may be an unintended consequence of eliminating default comparisons.
I would discourage use of the decorate/sort/undecorate pattern, and encourage use of the key= argument. Or, if you really need to decorate into a tuple, still pass a key= argument.
Regards, Martin
