I've got a question about list.sorted.  I assume it's just a list that's 
initialized to have its elements sorted when it's created?  We're not 
talking about some new magic container type which keeps its elements 
sorted all the time?

In other words, I'm assuming that

l = list.sorted ((1, 2, 5, 3))
l.append (4)
print l

will print [1, 2, 3, 5, 4], right?
