I think IOhannes means that the object is missing ; )

I also made some alignment patches, ha, but forgot to announce them -
I'm keeping stuff in the SVN under abstractions/meta-abs/experimental.
 Looks like yours is cooler anyway!

By the way, check out [sort] in zexy - it outputs both a sorted list
as well as indices of the original positions in the input list, so you
can get "sort-one-list-by-another" functionality out of it (it's what
i'm using in my alignment patches) - and it's sure to be quicker. (oh,
I suppose you could already be using it in 2list-sort but I can't know
: ) )

Very glad an ecosystem is blooming!

Best
Luke
