It's a pity that this function is a GNU extension, otherwise it could be
used to implement the desired function in shells (ksh, bash) as an
additional globbing option (like the zsh glob qualifier) or a new 'set'
option to control the sorting.

I just posted a python program to comp.lang.python that sorts parameters
using strverscmp(3).  It also shell-escapes the (common) IFS characters.
