For every method, the first sentence should consisely explain what it does,
not how. This sentence usually starts with a verb.

It's really weird for sort to be explained in terms of another function,
namely sort_by. There's no need for that because it's obvious how sort
sorts elements: there is T: Ord.

If sort_by_key does not have to explicitly state how it's implemented,
then sort doesn't either.

It's really weird for `sort` to be explained in terms of another function,
namely `sort_by`. There's no need for that because it's obvious how `sort`
sorts elements: there is `T: Ord`.

If `sort_by_key` does not have to explicitly state how it's implemented,
then `sort` doesn't either.
