filter returns an input range.
sort requires a random access range and works in place and has good time
complexity.
How do you want to sort an input range?

It would do inputRange.array.sort!predicate, that's how sort usually works on input ranges.

As a user, I shouldn't care about what `filter` returns. I should care about getting a filtered & sorted array/range.

As for `sort`, in my user opinion, if it can't do its job "in place", then it could as much do it out-of-place, because this code

```
auto a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
a.sort!((x, y) => x > y).writeln;
```

fails to compile just as much, and it's staright up inconvenient

I meant to change `auto a` to `immutable a`. Then it won't compile, but should
