Yes, but I should be able to define the "less than" predicate in the
constructor, or I should be able to pass a custom predicate into the sort
function (as I understand it, you *can* sort a map because it is only
automatically sorted when pairs are added or removed).

What I'm really asking is:
What are the arguments to this functor (values, pointers or references),
and
How do I access the value from these arguments?
