Yes.  But most of the time, these things aren't changed, so reusing
the old data would be a win.

It seems the code that implements `/ N' already knows how to deal
with sorting and, probably, scoring.  It's also quite fast.  I wonder
if its ideas could be reused.  I haven't looked at the code, so I
have no idea what's involved.
