Date: Wed, 06 Jul 2016 00:05:57 +0200

The mentioned docstring ends with


     Do _not_ use this function to compare file names for equality, only
     for sorting them.


which makes no sense to me. First of all, what's so special about file
names to mention them here? And then, how one is supposed to use an
equality predicate for sorting? (We have string-collate-lessp for that)
