If you read the rest of the thread, you'll see that I (a) know that; (b) implemented that.

In this subthread, the discussion (started by another monk) centers around using a lazy sort/lazy lists in P6 to produce the subset--which I was countering.

But read the whole (sub)thread if your really interested.

Examine what is said, not who speaks.

Silence betokens consent.

Love the truth but pardon error.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
