First of all, thanks for maintaining Debian's bash
package. It's great.

It seems to me that "sort" and "uniq" are called
often enough that adding them as loadable builtins
may be worthwhile.

For example, bash scripts that happen to call sort
and uniq from within deeply nested loops would
probably be sped up by not having to launch new
processes for each "sort" and "uniq" call.

Please add loadable builtins for sort and uniq.

Thanks,
Kingsley
