    I keep my elements sorted. The sort order is defined by a sortblock,
    a two-argument block which, when given two elements of the collection, 
    should return true if the element given as first arg has to come before the 
    element given as second arg.

    Equal elements may occur multiple times.

    SortedCollection uses quickSort to resort and a binary search when adding/removing
    elements. 
    Because insertion/removal may require that remaining elements have to
    be shifted within the container, adding many individual elements may be done faster
    by creating a completely new collection from the unsorted elements.
    (see examples)

    Thus a sortBlock of [:a :b | a < b] defines ascending sort-order,
    while [:a :b | a > b] defines descening order.
    The default sortBlock for SortedCollections is the first one.

    Compatibility Warning:
        VW seems to use a default sortBlock which compares a<=b,
        while ST/X uses a<b.
        That means, that elements which are compared MUST understand #< in ST/X
        while the minumum protocol is #<= in VW.
        This may be changed in a future release of ST/X 
        (it is not yet, to not confuse existing applications ...
         ... be aware, that the sortBlock has an effect on a few algorithms
         found here; especially #indexForInserting is critical.)

    when many elements are to be added, it may be better to add them 
    all en-bloeque instead of individually.
    The reason is that for each individual #add:, the contents has to be
    shifted, to create an empty slot for the new element.

    timing example:

        |o rnd|

        o := SortedCollection new.
        rnd := Random new.
        10000 timesRepeat:[
            o add:rnd next.
        ]  

    takes 1365 ms on a P5 (admitted: this is a fast machine ;-)
    In contrast:

        |o rnd|

        o := OrderedCollection new.
        rnd := Random new.
        10000 timesRepeat:[
            o add:rnd next.
        ].
        o := o asSortedCollection

    takes 383 ms on the same machine.

    If you already have a big sortedCollection at hand, adding multiple
    items may be better done with #addAll:, which resorts all elements, if
    the number of added items is more than some threshold number.
    However, the break-even point where bulk-adding is faster depends
    on the machine ... (and ST/X version ;-).
