Comment (by olly):

 > For backends which store an upper bound on the value in a slot, it is
 trivial to compute a value which sorts after all other values in the slot
 - just append a character to the upper bound.

 Ah, I missed this - indeed, we actually know an upper bound, so my logic
 breaks down.
