Re: [Ocaml-lib-devel] Labels in list module

No purpose I think here.
Maybe sort was first added with optional argument, and other sorts were
added after that.

I've been playing around with the possibility of adding labelled
interfaces to extlib to match the labelled interfaces available in the
standard library.  When I was looking over the list interface of
extlib, I noticed something odd:  The sort function has an optional
comparison argument, but the fast_sort, stable_sort and merge don't:
the argument is mandatory.  Is this on purpose, and if so, why?
