.This is not a defence of X.  I'm just pointing out to anyone who
.might have missed it that there _is_ a method described in the
.literature as sorting numbers in time linear in the number of keys.


There isn't anything special about that book; many books have sections
about linear time sorts.  What's scary is that some people don't seem
to know it.  I feel some justification for my practice of discussing
sorting complexity during job interviews.
