Comment(by olly):
A related thought - aside from the name, Sorter could be used to allow
building collapse keys dynamically. !MultiValueSorter is perhaps less
useful for that purpose - while being able to collapse if all of N values
match, there's no useful meaning of the "direction" flag. So perhaps
Sorter would be better named more generically (!KeyMaker?) Or perhaps we
should just have a separate base class for building collapse keys.
