If someone knows why spliced_seq() should ever sort then I'm  
suggesting we add a test demonstrating a useful example of that.

If no one has a useful example of when you would want spliced_seq()  
to sort then I'm suggesting we remove the sorting altogether and  
nosort goes away.

I can provide/add many examples where sorting is bad. I do not know  
of a case where sorting is good.
