I had fun once writing a set of modules that allowed me to plug in
different sorting algorithms really easily at run time.  But you're
talking about what you're sorting, not how you're sorting it.  I
suspect games could be played with modules; maybe not, but the work
on parametric polymorphism that's being implemented for consideration
for Inferno 4th edition looks promising.
