I don't like that approach. If the array is sorted incorrectly, please
don't bail out but print a message about the fact and restart but with
an extra sorting pass in the beginning. It's bad enough we bail out in
many places in the intialization with non-descriptive asserts in proto.c,
so please don't add another one.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
