I note that:

	x.map!(…).array.sort

is not valid, you have to have the parentheses on sort:

	x.map!(…).array.sort()

Why?

built-in property .sort kicks in and ruins the day. luckily, it will be completely removed in the upcoming major release.

sort and .reverse builtins was deprecated for a long time, and scheduled to be removed anyway. finally, this happens! (the patch is in git already)
