This is an enhancement request, since the docs for sort make no promise one way or the other.

For performance, I prefer the current behavior, so another possibility is a clarifying doc string.

clj-892-clarify-sort-sort-by-doc-strings-patch1.txt of Mar 26, 2012 applies cleanly to latest master on that date. Only doc string changes, to make it clear that by sort and sort-by will modify Java arrays given as arguments.
